Romanian farmer is hoping to make a fortune after a chicken was born with four working legs.
Doru Grigoras said: "Think of all the extra chicken drumsticks you can get off a chicken with four legs instead of two."
He is planning to keep the black feathered chick until it grows up at his smallholding in Dambau and then breed it to produce more four-legged birds.
If the breeding is successful he will sell the chickens to a fast food chain, and if not he says the chick could still make him a fortune through advertising.
Grigoras added: "Everyone from around the region wants to come to see my chicken. Apart from its extra legs it looks perfectly healthy, although it eats a lot for such a small bird," the daily newspaper 7 Plus reported.
ping!!!!
I wonder if the chicken's owner lives downstream from a chemical plant.
Don't breed it..clone it...
I like wings better, too bad it couldn't have 4 wings
Me thinks a chicken with two left wings would go over great in the Blue States...
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm,TWO?
There are feet anyway.
Four-legged chicken? How do they taste? Don't know--can't catch one!
The only problem is that you have to catch it.

John was driving his pickup down a country lane, when suddenly a chicken darts out into the road in front of him. He's just about to slam on his brakes to avoid the chicken when he realizes that the chicken has sped on ahead doing about 30 miles per hour.
Amazed, he sped up to follow, but the chicken takes off faster and faster. Finally the chicken screeches into a turn and goes into a small farm. As he turns to follow, John notices that the chicken has THREE legs.
He pulls to a stop in front of the farm house, and looking around, notices that ALL the chickens have 3 legs.
He says to the farmer "THREE-legged chickens? Thats astounding!"
The Farmer replies "Yep, I bred 'em that way--I love drumsticks."
John: "Well, tell me, how does a 3 legged chicken taste?"
Farmer: "Dunno, haven't been able to catch one yet."
