The Campbellsville, Kentucky, farmers named the baby “Lucky”, and are now chronicling the life of their double-headed addition.
It’s a very rare genetic mutation – definitely not something you see every day. “I saw two noses”. But there has been progress!
The unbelievable calf, whose name is Lucky, has clef palates in both of her mouths.
Lucky has some balance issues and struggles to walk due to the size of her head.
While the family says she is lucky to be alive, she does have her share of problems.
And while she can stand up on all fours, she struggles to walk and often ends up trotting around in circles before falling over. “They told us she was blind in these”, Brandy McCubbin told “Inside Edition”. They said she only has one working eye on each head and her mouths move in unison when she eats.
“I said she was lucky to live, and our little five-year-old, Kenley said “that’s her name, Lucky”, Brandy McCubbin told WDRB.
However, despite troubles standing up, Lucky is seems healthy for now.
“I’m just thinking how many days do we have and I mean it’s a blessing that we get to go through this with our children and our family and it’s just something unique and rare”, said Brandy McCubbin.
