In the village of Zarya, near Penza, a chicken with four legs hatched. The chick's mistress, 11-year-old Anya MALYSHEVA, is sure that the unusual baby behaves much more actively than other newborn birds
As soon as the mutant chicken was born, all the village children gathered to gaze at it. Following the children, adults began to come to the Malyshevs' house, whose household was replenished by a miracle in feathers. Anya proudly demonstrates her ward.
- Look, - says the girl, - the baby runs on two legs, and the other two just hang along the calf. He is much more agile than other chickens. As soon as I bring food, the four-legged one always comes to eat first. He is not even afraid to bully adult roosters and chickens.
Having carefully studied the unusual individual, the head of the Penza Association "Ecology and Human Rights"
Yuri Voblikov shook his head:
- All this is from bad ecology. The village of Zarya is included in the so-called Chernobyl zone. In 1986, when an accident happened at a nuclear power plant, the wind was blowing in that direction. I once saw both a bull with five legs and a sheep without an anus. And I don’t want to talk about other horrors.
Meanwhile, genetics became interested in the Penza anomaly. They are going to investigate the mutant. What if it turns out to grow four-legged chickens on an industrial scale?
