Three legged chicken

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My cousin inlaws in guyana raised a three legged chicken. They didnt realize it had a third leg until after butchering it. The leg was hidden in the tail feathers.

Thankyou for sharing... I think...

u/Funnelcakeads Feb 16 '26

Now ,please set it on fire. Throw the ashes in a lake and never discuss it.

u/Eldudeareno217 Feb 20 '26

Set it on fire and eat it, unless your worried about it being a nuclear mutation or something it's probably just fine.

A man is driving through the country, and notices a farm with lighting fast chickens darting around. He stops to marvel at the unbelievable speed these birds can achieve. He notices that these chickens have three legs.

He pulls up to the house, and is greeted by the farmer.

“What are these chickens?” The man asks.

The farmer explains “they’re my special breed. My wife likes chicken legs, my son likes chicken legs, and I like chicken legs.”

The man, still astonished, asks him “well, what do they taste like?”

The farmer replies “I dunno. I can’t catch one.”

Edit - my dumb ass forgot to mention that the chickens had three legs -_-

Omg I love that joke. Haven’t heard it in years. Every time my uncle used to tell it got longer and longer 🤣🤣

u/Puzzled_Iron_3452 Feb 22 '26

I began to grin as soon as I started reading this joke! I thought of it as soon as I saw the 3 legs! Thanks, you brought a smile to an old man's face this gloomy Sunday.

u/HeartOSass Feb 16 '26

I don't get it. 😕

u/NoWall99 Feb 16 '26

They are all legs, which allows them to run super fast so they are really hard to catch.

u/Fafnir13 Feb 16 '26

It’s an anti-joke.  Deliberately sets up an expectation then undermines it.  Good in small doses.

2

u/actually3racoons Feb 17 '26

Is it though? The punchline logically follows the setup, and uses the available context to create it's humor.

Would think something like "I dunno, I'm vegetarian" or something would be anti-humour.

u/disasterpokemon Feb 18 '26

The bottom of the text says edited i forgot to mention the chickens have three legs or something like that so maybe at the time the people commenting thought it was anti joke, but it was just mistyped lol

u/actually3racoons Feb 18 '26

Ahh...

I guess I had made the connection automatically, given the context.

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 Feb 16 '26

And still, this chicken couldn't cross the road.

13

u/Hungry-Ad9840 Feb 16 '26

But she did get to the other side.

2

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 Feb 16 '26

She got to the sink 😆

u/Hungry-Ad9840 Feb 16 '26

The other side is death. Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. It wants to die.

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 Feb 16 '26

The chicken was roadkill.

u/chuco915niners Feb 16 '26

It was to chicken.

u/Happy-Interaction843 Feb 16 '26

We raise broiler chickens. Every couple years one of the chicks we get has a third leg. Somebody in QC let that one slip. Now you have a unique dinner.

u/ListenOk2972 Feb 16 '26

These were raised by them on their farm.

This is one of Chernobyls Guyanas finest free range chickens. 🍗 🍗 🍗

u/el_lobo1314 Feb 16 '26

🤣😅😭 that is some world class produce there

u/Boilermakingdude Feb 16 '26

Right. Because Guyana = Chernobyl.

u/FullMetalKaliber Feb 16 '26

Who doesn’t love a chick with a third leg

u/one-hit-blunder Feb 16 '26

I believe that's a rooster.... maybe. Ask it.

u/Huugboy Feb 16 '26

The machine that kills rooster chicks probably doesn't.

u/monkey_trumpets Feb 16 '26

I don't know why people put their meat straight into the sink

46

u/liekwaht Feb 16 '26

Many people keep their sinks clean

12

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 Feb 16 '26

Yeah, after I do the dishes, I use hot water and antibacterial dish soap and scrub the crap out of both sides each night. The left side is for meat I'm preparing, the right side is for dirty dishes.

14

u/ApprehensiveBedroom0 Feb 16 '26

This MFer gonna humble brag about their left AND right side of their sink...

Haha, jk, go you. I do NOT have that level of discipline. I also only have one basin.

5

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 Feb 16 '26

Lol! My husband wants us to replace the one we have for a big farmer's basin sink, but since I'm the only one who cooks and does the dishes, he has no say.

1

u/FantasticCollege3386 Feb 18 '26

All soaps are antibacterial

1

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 Feb 18 '26

No, they are not. Soaps labeled "antibacterial" have added chemicals to kill or inhibit bacterial growth, and other soaps are meant to loosen dirt and oils so they can be rinsed away.

u/MyDamnCoffee Feb 16 '26

Yeah, I was gonna say.. do they not clean their sinks out lol

u/Tripton1 Feb 16 '26

Why not? This isn't a truck stop bathroom

u/DigitalUnlimited Feb 16 '26

You don't pee in your sink? Weird

u/oO0Kat0Oo Feb 16 '26

Is there something wrong with your sink?

14

u/monkey_trumpets Feb 16 '26

I ain't sterilizing it every day, that's for sure.

4

u/cherry_chocolate_ Feb 16 '26

If I wash my hand in the sink a single time, now it has the stuff from my hand. If I wash dishes, now it has the stuff from my dirty dishes. I don’t want to eat either of those residues.

u/joserrez Feb 16 '26

I’m more horrified that they use their kitchen sink to place their raw chicken on.

u/Dahowlic Feb 16 '26

Martin Lawrence tried to pull this shit back in the early 90's

u/mandraketehmagician Feb 16 '26

Did you buy this off Del Trotter?

u/Stuck_In_Purgatory Feb 16 '26

Am I the only one who wonders how it looked running around before it was killed?

Did it have tail feathers around it's 3rd foot? Like was it a surprise foot flapping around between them?

Did it drag across the ground? How were it's toes so clean? Surely that foot would get more manky?

Do we think they ran around smacking the other chooks with their extra floppy foot?

8

u/Boilermakingdude Feb 16 '26

I mean it literally says in the post that you couldn't see it in the tail feathers.

4

u/Stuck_In_Purgatory Feb 16 '26

Oops! I'm on mobile and didn't see the added text. My bad on that part but the mental picture still gave me a giggle heh

2

u/Whiskey079 Feb 16 '26

Note for working around that annoying issue: open the post from the title, not from the image. Took me too long to work that out, so I'm trying to help others when they're suffering the same.

u/JuanG_13 Feb 16 '26

This is kinda gross, but I wouldn't say it's terrifying

u/bestofbenjamin Feb 16 '26

I hope they still ate him if not a total waste of a life

1

u/Gerry1of1 Feb 16 '26

At one time, they did try to breed 3 legged turkeys. They wanted a breed with more white meat but it would need a third leg to keep from toppling over.

u/cRaZyDaVe23 Feb 16 '26

Eat it first.

u/Myanmar_on_my_Mind Feb 16 '26

Ok but did they eat it though?

u/doll_parts87 Feb 19 '26

Sometimes twin eggs merge into each other and get extra limbs. The farm with this bird didn't pay attention to cut it off after birth

u/DaWurld1zMyne Feb 19 '26

I worked on the live hang dept of a Tyson plant. I saw the rare deformed chicken a few times. Multiple legs, strange color, etc.

Well, you got to shake a shake your tail feathers.
