dorothy my one-legged chicken

Dorothy was one of the first chickens we ever got. She was born with both legs and then she somehow lost one we think to a rat. She continued to eat and grow and hop around. One day my husband and I were watching our chickens and the other hens were digging the rest of her leg out. We thought we were going to lose her then but she survived. One of her talons has adjusted so she can balance, she hops wherever she needs to go, but wears out every evening so we carry her to the coop for the night. She's a wonderful pet and one tough chicken.
