Extra Anus Kills Four-Legged Chicken

[Queasy]

Forzie the four-legged chicken will cluck no more.

The Te Uku-bred Barnevelder chick - hatched at Marlene Dickey's property at the start of last month - has died.

But it wasn't the extra legs that led to its death, more likely an extra anus, Mrs Dickey believes.

"He developed two bottoms and I think he got glugged up," she said.

While she was surprised by Forzie's death - he weighed a "good pound of butter" and was gaining feathers slowly - it was not totally unexpected, she said.

And it was fun while it lasted.

"He was a bit of a laugh."

Looking ungainly on its extra legs but twice as cute, the bird was an exception to the rule that chickens with defects are not normally born alive.

He was found dead on Friday and is now in the Dickeys' freezer waiting to be stuffed.

After he's been to the taxidermist, the family plan to donate the bird to Auckland Museum.

Wow, so not only were the extra limbs functional, but they were used for movement.

How do you get "glugged" up with two poopshoots? I mean, shouldn't it just be the opposite?

 

[Wapp]

Must be a slow news day.

Two poopers but zero connections?

Where the hell does one learn the word "glugged"?

I always though glug meant to drink. As in glug a slug from the jug.

I still don't understand what happened. How does a chicken get "glugged" up? Also, how, scientifically, does something die from having two anuses?

You people are analyzing the comments of the farmer who raised the chick. Just want to put that in perspective when you want a "scientific" analysis.

Wonder if they were still going to serve it up as dinner. If it lived long enough, that is.

They said they were going to stuff it and give it to a museum.

Was this thing a partial set of siamese chicks? LIek one of the twins was basically underdeveloped to teh point of being an extra set of legs and butthole on this main lifeform?

yeah I saw that. They said that after the chicken was already dead. that's why I said "if it lived long enough."

The farmer was also quoted as saying "If an egg can fit up there, why can't I?"

 

[SoftwareEng]

how were the extra limbs functional?! there'd need to be brain wiring to support them. If you are born with an extra testcile, does it automatically come into play?! (no pun intended)
