Reddit Thread Exposes Rare Chick Born With Four Legs Instead of Wings, Theorizing It Could Be The Next Step In Chicken Evolution

It's not every day you get to see a literal evolution of an animal, but today is one of those days. An interesting (and funny) Reddit thread found a chick that was born with four legs instead of two legs and two wings. Chickens are practically flightless anyway, so this seems like an advantageous evolutionary trait for them to adopt. Chickens can be pretty cute, but we have to admit, it's a bit weird to see a chicken with two extra legs.

We hope this little chick gets to live a long, full, and healthy life. But, with all new traits, they can come with some downsides. Maybe the chick's body built to handle the shifting of balance onto four feet, or something else we couldn't even imagine. Regardless of all that, it's pretty cool to see a bird that looks like a dinosaur. Scroll down to read all the hilarious comments and cool things about this chick for yourself!
