If this creature survives to adulthood I really need to see it.

It is about a one in ten million birth defect. There are pictures of adults with this. They kinda just look like normal chickens at a moment's glance

This is a very old photo. Lemme see if I can find an update

Edit: no update on this guy, but the photo is from at least two years ago. I did find a similar chick here but it died in a few weeks due to a malformed vent.

Hey, cool. It look so odd and cool. I hope that little guy still is okay
