Right-legged chickens

[gsdx]

I bought 2 packages of chicken quarters this afternoon (chicken legs with thighs attached) with 4 pieces in each package. I cooked them all up and they were all left legs!

Somewhere out there are 8 chickens hopping around on their right legs!

Or leaning against a fence.

I would have never noticed. Poor chicken; two left feet.

Sorry to destroy the fun with logic...but it's all about presentation. The legs sit better in the package if they face the same way...and you just happened to buy two packages of "lefties"

Sorry, I should have been more specific. We call them 'packages' here. They are actually sealed plastic bags and the legs are just dropped in willy-nilly. I can buy chicken pieces in the styrofoam trays as you mentioned, but they are more expensive.

This is why I stick to boneless, skinless chicken breasts. It's just easier.

I just found this story on Yahoo:

Pa. farm discovers a 4-legged chicken Sat Sep 23, 7:15 AM ET

Henrietta the chicken was living inconspicuously among 36,000 other birds at Brendle Farms for 18 months — until a foreman noticed she had four legs.

"It's as healthy as the rest," the farm's owner, Mark Brendle, told The Daily American.

Brendle's 13-year-old daughter, Ashley, named the chicken Henrietta after the discovery Thursday. The bird has two normal front legs and, behind those, two more feet. They are of a similar size to her front legs but don't function. The chicken drags her extra feet behind her.

In 30 years of farming, Brendle said, he's never before seen a chicken with four legs.

There's no definitive reason why such deformities happen, said Cliff Thompson, a retired professor of genetics at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. He said it could be an accident of development, akin to a sixth toe on a cat.

Brendle said he jokingly suggested to his family that it sell Henrietta in an Internet auction, but Ashley objected.

Oh no, she named it. Can't kill it now.
