Disabled chicken walks away thanks to custom wheelchair

A chicken that survived an attack by a weasel in Vermont, US, has now been given a custom wheelchair so she can walk again.

Granite Heart was born with only one functioning leg and has never walked on her own.

To make matters worse, a year ago, both Granite Heart and her sister were attacked by a weasel.

Her owner, Sarah Wood, was inspired by the chicken's fighting spirit and decided she'd make sure Granite Heart was living her best list.

She reached out to the team at "Walkin' Pets" in Boston, who built the chicken a custom wheelchair.

"Walkin' Pets" is a company that specialises in wheelchairs for dogs. This was their first wheelchair built especially for a chicken.

Granite Heart can now stand upright and even walk, thanks to her new wheels.
