Chick With Genetic Defect
This chick was born with four legs rather than two, as opposed to the norm. Occasionally, chickens can be born with polymelia, which is a genetic birth defect that occurs in their genes. It is defined as the development of a new limb or limbs on either side of the body. This defect does not have any negative consequences for the majority of the time, and the chickens can live normal, healthy lives without suffering any dire effects.
