A Freak Chicken
To the Editor of the "Birmingham Weekly Post"
Sir, The accompanying Illustration depicts one of a hatch of Plymouth Rock chickens, bred by Mr. A. B----- of 468 Birchfield Road, Perry Barr, "sitting of eggs being purchased locally."
As will be seen the freak has four legs-two in the normal position and two others protruding from its back a little to the rear of the natural position of the wings one on either side.
Another peculiarity about the bird is that it has four wings. Nature in this case has less regard for symmetry even than in the case of the legs, about which there is some semblance of regularity in the position.
Although the chick is provided with a pair of wings in the normal position a second pair shows, one about the middle of the back and another on the breast.
It's bill also is contrary to the usual order of things, the shorter (or under-part in the normal bird) portion being at the top, and the longer part at the bottom.
The freak did not long survive it's escape from the egg, being found dead in the nest on the morning's first expectant examination. The owner of the curiosity has had it set up ?
