It's a genetic predisposition, like twins in families.
There have been several cases of four legged chickens being hatched and some surviving - one in New Zealand died because it grew an extra anus and got 'glugged up'... just google 'four legged chickens' and they're there for all to see. Henrietta the US chicken seems to be the oldest.
