Telegraph reported the animal that appeared on Mrs. Lyn Newman's farm in Defford village, Worcestershire county, England.

After searching information on the internet, the 59-year-old woman knows that the animal has a monstrous shape is actually a hybrid product between two chickens. An empty Guinea fowl mated with one of her hens. Another mating behavior creates a genetic mutation in chicks, making it 4 wings.

'In addition to having two wings, the animal is much smaller than other newly hatched chickens. I was really stunned to know that it was a cross-breeding result between Guinea chickens and chickens, because normally other mating species rarely occur , 'Newman said.

Newman said she had seen a rooster Guinea hovering near the house and most likely it was the father of a 4-pointed chicken. Chicken animal health is relatively good and it does not have any different behavior compared to other animals. Woman thinking of auctioning chickens.

Sharon Boundy, president of the British Guinea Chicken Association, said the 4-wing chicken is one of the bizarre things of creation.

'Very rarely, ordinary chickens and Guinea chickens mate. I only know a single case for many years. Crossbreeding does not lead to any danger, but other animals often do not come too close together. The product of other mating behavior can possess a monstrous appearance and Mrs. Newman's chicken is no exception , 'Boundy said.

Chicken Guinea (Numididae) is a family of poultry originating from Africa. Numida meleagris species in this family are widely domesticated because their meat is delicious and they are capable of guarding the farm (chickens often shout loudly when they see people or strange animals). Numida meleagris chickens have wild crested bigger than domesticated chickens. With a body length of about 50 cm, they possess a face of little fur, brown eyes, a blue and red flesh cover, and black fur with white spots. Chicken Guinea live in flock.
