Chicken's £1,800 leg amputation

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.
