Tis cute in a quirky sort of way. Personally i'd keep her. I cant see it fetching much at auction?

Got to disagree, the freak show mentality is still around.

How else do you explain the success of `Big Brother'. :)

Awww, I think she's lovely.  I wouldn't be able to part with her if she were mine but then again, I always seem to have a thing for the slightly wierd ones (just hope my other half doesn't read this!).   :wub:

I think it is so cute and if it was mine I wouldn't sell it.
never knew though that guinea fowl would mate with chickens though - so glad I never got around to getting any  :)

Have to say I agree with the person who said that the 4 wings is probably just fluke. Doubt it's directly related to the fact it is a chicken / guinea fowl hybrid. Reminds me of Stumpy, the 4 legged duck, that was hatched last year or the year before.

Was amused by the individual "from Outer Space" who thought we should all stop interferring with mother nature. Seems to have missed the point that this was just the nature of a randy male that would mate with anything, regardless of species. Probably something to worry about if you wander about, unaccompanied in space.
