Tara Cleary reports for Reuters that a four-legged chicken is on "death row" at a Jerusalem slaughterhouse in the Mea Shearim neighborhood. According to the slaughterhouse owner, it is unclear whether he will be allowed to butcher the hen. He plans to give it to a rabbi to determine whether or not it is kosher to do so. He says, "If it's kosher, we'll slaughter it, if not, we will see what to do." In a rather disturbing conclusion, Cleary announces, "If the chicken does run foul of the rabbi's commandment, at least it will provide double the drumsticks."
If the legs are tied together, according to local rabbis, the chicken is not kosher. This they said could only be determined by slaughtering the animal... However, the chicken may survive if [slaughterhouse owner Yoel] Kroish decides to go ahead with his plan and sell the chicken to the highest bidder, media reports said.
