The chicken will join the zoo so others can "have a look at this strange chicken".

A chicken who walks upright like a penguin is set to become a new zoo attraction after being discovered in Eastern China.

The rooster is understood to have begun to walk in an upright manner as the result of a cartilage condition and has gained a following in Jinhua by strolling around the streets entertaining onlookers.

A business man discovered the chicken on a trip to China and purchased him from his owner, a local farmer, for 10,000 yuan (around £950) but says he is donating the three-year-old fowl to the local zoo so others can “have a look at this strange chicken”.
