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.

This is ridiculous!!!

Many re mad few are roaming.... this woman is mad

Lol. This is true love for the chicken.

That woman does not fear God

But wait o......
Why is this in the romance section
Chicken surgery na romance

how far

That is cheap, I actually spent $3,000 to rehabilitate mosquitoes.

Ludicrous! Why didn't she just eat it? This is still nothing compared to the stories of people who leave millions of dollars (in their will) to pets eg. the millionaire cats. I believe the cat's owner left 30 million dollars to a damn cat! What does a cat know about money? SMH.

lol thank you haha

lol, I've actually seen people do it with you too. As I just did. I've experienced being misunderstood too. Like something is so clear in your mind, meant not to offend & then someone comes out of nowhere with guns blazing, nit picking. Well, I always have my pistol cocked for such people because I find it irritating. I believe in freedom of speech. You don't like what I say. .tough. Just move on & don't expect me to explain myself. It's frustrating.

Thanks, sweety. I just had my 1st sip & all is well with the world again. Thank God for caffeine

Yeah, you look adorbs lol

Nah you're fine you didn't do anything
That was just a common misunderstanding while some here will be even cursing people's parents smh lol

Tough lady, nice one. I'm in full support. The patriarchal society in Africa (well lemme just speak for Nigeria cause that na the one I sabi) is unreal so the males seem to have this twisted idea that they can tell females how to run their lives. So the nitpicking is mostly directed at ladies which ain't cool. I approve of your method

I'm more of a tea girl cause I always heard coffee stunts your growth and I wanted to be 5'10 lol. Enjoy it o.

Awww wow that's too much. Thank you again lol.

You're from a tall family? But your height is very good.

My father's side of the family they're tall, but they have no @ss lol. I'm stuck with their pancake Talk about being dealt a bad hand in life. Hahaha.

Dear lord, what wouldn't I do? Seriously, there are situations in life when you wish you can just tell people to fùck off. So, I'd start with the people at work Then I'll go sit on some island sipping a margarita with a little umbrella sticking on the side.

Aww why nah. Don't say that about yourself. Babe if I start discussing bad genes here I go cry lol I have an obsession with genetics.

Hmm since we're confessing. Was always the biggest in my fam growing up and had a bit of a hard time cause I didn't really take after my mum (shes like straight everywhere with boobs sorry mom and I'm..... well not straight sha. Awkward comment lol) but then i kinda lost some weight in the beginning of secondary school. And voila.

There's no moral to that story o. I still worry about my build a lot. I guess all females do lol

Indeed. Love yourself as they say.

Funny enough I read some study that said that high self esteem is over hyped. What is more necessary, is accurate self esteem. Interesting right? I kinda agree lol.

No, I don't hate her. Sometimes I just don't like being told what to do or have someone lording over me power tripping all over the place. It makes me feel kinda resentful lol.
