A chicken farmer named Mao Rui'an in Qingdao, Shandong province, is giving special attention to one of his chickens.

The unique hen is able to produce two eggs at the same time through two excretory openings. An expert said the hen probably has two separate reproductive systems.

He discovered the strange hen while he was giving vaccine shots to the chickens two months ago.

The lucky hen is enjoying a private henhouse and is fed with wheat seedlings instead of grass.
