Most chicken legs are fried or grilled, but this one is plastered.

Pearlie Clark of Webb has a chicken coop full and never had any problems with them, until 1-rooster attacked 2 of her chickens.

Clark was able to nurse one back to health, but the other whose name is "Chicky-chick" broke its leg.

Clark tried to make a splint for it, but "Chicky-chick" is so active that it didn't work.

So she did what few people would do, she took it to the vet.

I went and called my veternarian and I told him I had a chicken that's got a dangling leg and he started laughing because you're supposed to take the neck and wring the neck off, but I'm just the opposite," said Clark.

Fortunately for “Chicky-chick” if her leg is healed by next Wednesday, the doctor will remove the cast.
