QUIRKY WORLD ... Don’t be chicken about €2,275 prosthetic leg op
Andrea Martin is paying for the $2,500 (€2,275) operation out of her own pocket. She says the alternative is euthanisation.
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 3D printer, will be fitted.
