Lol..Massachusetts woman's chicken gets $2,500 prosthetic leg

A hen owned by a Massachusetts woman who specializes in chicken rehabilitation and rescue is getting fitted with a prosthetic leg Wednesday at Tufts University's Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine.
Andrea Martin, of Clinton, says she is paying for the $2,500 operation out of her own pocket. She says the alternative is euthanization.
The chicken, named Cecily, was born with a damaged tendon in the leg that makes it useless.
 
The surgery will begin when Emi Knafo, a specialist in avian orthopedics, will amputate Cecily's right leg.
After a 10- to 14-day recovery period, the prosthetic, made on a 3-D printer, will be fitted.
 
Similar surgery has been performed on a rooster and duck, though not at Tufts.

    The alternative is chicken peppersoup or rice with chicken stew and not euthanization.
