( I don't think this is an old joke. )

A man was driving down a country road, enjoying the scenery,
when a chicken came running along and passed him.

Quite surprised at this, the man sped up to overtake the
chicken and then matching his speed with the bird's, found
the chicken was racing along at 80 mph.  He also noticed
that the remarkable bird had three legs.

As the man puzzled over what he was seeing, the pair came
to a farmer's lane which the chicken turned down and
headed for its coop.

The man also pulled into the lane.  Seeing a farmer
standing by the barn, the man drove over to talk to
him.

"I just saw a chicken with three legs running down the 
road doing 80 mph!" the man explained.

"Well," said the farmer, "You see, I live with my wife
and daughter and we all like drumsticks.  So in order
to avoid fights I specially bred chickens to have three
legs so we'd all get a drumstick."

"That's a good idea," the man responded. "Do
they taste any good?"

"Don't know.  Haven't caught one yet."
