A woman from South Wales has had to take out a bank loan to pay for her pet chicken's leg amputation.
Vicky Mills was determined to save the life of her three-year old pet chicken, Lily after its limb was caught on a barbed wire fence.
When the 24-year-old was told the bird's leg could not be saved, she opted to have it amputated, costing her £1,800.
Because of the price of the surgery, Mrs Mills had to take out a bank loan and could not afford to go on holiday.
Lily the chicken underwent seven operations and recovered successfully, even overcoming depression following surgery.
Mrs Mills, who was given the chicken when it was only two days old, said the operation was worth every penny.
I'm sorry, I just cannot comprehend how someone can be that attached to a bloody chicken! 1800 quid to have a leg chopped off AND the bloody fowl suffered PTSD by the sounds of it.
I wonder if she cooked the leg?
Drumstick, Anyone?

I just got my 6 killed... due to them only being bred to lay eggs for 2 years..... they got 3.5 years out of me, with all my molly cuddling.... wonder how much it would have cost to have the head that was ripped off the one sewn back on
and yes in all seriousness, they were quite lovable... each one had a wee individual personality lol.... but £1800?.... wouldnt pay that for one of my dogs! Tough old life for animals in the 'country set'..... they are ALL dispensable
