1. Would be interesting to find out

if these chickens were fed genetically engineered food.

2. LOL

It must have been. Lord knows there weren't deformities before Albert Einstein discovered DNA.

4. Actually there was a thread here this weekend

>>>snip
It turns out that the damage done to DNA due to the process of creating a genetically modified organism is far more extensive than previously thought.<1> GM crops routinely create unintended proteins, alter existing protein levels or even change the components and shape of the protein that is created by the inserted gene. Kirk’s concerns about a GM crop producing a harmful misfolded protein remain well-founded, and have been echoed by scientists as one of the many possible dangers that are not being evaluated by the biotech industry’s superficial safety assessments.

GM cotton has provided ample reports of unpredicted side-effects. In April 2006, more than 70 Indian shepherds reported that 25% of their herds died within 5-7 days of continuous grazing on Bt cotton plants.<2> Hundreds of Indian agricultural laborers reported allergic reactions from Bt cotton. Some cotton harvesters have been hospitalized and many laborers in cotton gin factories take antihistamines each day before work.<3>

7. cute!

I wonder if it has any control over the other pair of legs.

I've hatched chicks and ducklings before -- and I have to admit, it would be pretty cool to have one of these turn up in my incubator! Even without the extra limbs ... I've always wanted to try Barnevelders (a heritage variety, supposed to lay really pretty dark-colored eggs).
