Do You Know What This Means?
It means the animal uprising is developing a powerful new weapon. One that could have far-reaching and devastating consequences. The four-legged attack chicken!
Farm-owner Mike Brendle was amazed by the discovery among his standard two-legged, egg-laying hens.
"It's as healthy as the rest," he said.
Brendle's 13-year-old daughter, Ashley, named the bird Henrietta after the discovery. It has two normal front legs and, behind those, two more feet. They are of a similar size to the chicken's front legs, but do not function. The chicken drags her extra feet behind her.
Brendle said he has never seen a chicken with four legs before. He moves 36,000 chickens through his farm three times a year and has been farming for 30 years.
There is no definitive reason behind such deformities, said Cliff Thompson, a retired professor of genetics at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. He said it could be an accident of development, akin to a sixth toe on a cat.
Oh sure, shrug it off. Dragging the legs behind her while people are watching is just a trick. Do you realize how fast one of these mutants is going to be? Just wait until the attacks start. On the plus side, there will be less fighting over who gets the drumsticks.
UPDATE: See! It's happening everywhere at once! Here's a picture of one of the hideous beasts from New Zealand! Oh no. What if they're already working on the next generation? We'll have chickens that look like caterpillars!

I’m doing my part. My dogs eat 60lbs. of chicken every month.
