ABSTRACT
An 8-week old male broiler chicken (Gallus domesticus) with four feet was presented for examination. At necropsy and extra vestigial pelvis was attched to the normal synsacrum by fibrocartiliginous tissue. The vestigial pelvis had a single femur attached to which were two feet, one with three digits and the other with two digits. By radiography, components of the extraneous feet were abnormal. There were two functional cloacae. The lesions were diagnosed as supernumery feet and duplication of cloaca.
