Why does this look functionally better than a normal chick?

Look at the back feet -- they're backwards -- poor little guy is probably in pain with every step.

yeah, I've seen alot of chicks with extra mutant legs over the years, this is the closest I've seen to something that looks functional... but i bet it just drags those legs behind it, and will die long before adulthood.

Were you a chicken farmer at Chernobyl?

They have funky feet every now and then. I have seen a couple with odd deformities as well just from very small scale chicken farming.
