Farmer finds giant egg but what was inside was even more puzzling

When an Australian farmer went to pick up his chickens’ daily eggs, he had the shock of his life.

Three times the size of a typical egg and weighing 6.2 ounces, a huge egg had been deposited by one of his hens.

A free-range chicken at Stockman’s Eggs on the Atherton Tablelands in north Queensland laid the babushka egg.

The company’s owner, Scott Stockman, shared a picture of the amazing find he and his employees made at the farm.

It appears really strange when compared to an ordinary-sized egg, but what was possibly even stranger was what they discovered after they cracked the egg.

There was another egg, properly formed, inside the egg.

“Having two perfectly formed eggs together is just incredible,” Scott told ABC News Australia.

It was the first of its kind, according to a veterinary Sciences expert from Charles Sturt University.

According to Associate Professor Raf Freire, the hen must have normally developed an egg but for some reason chose not to lay it.

Then, he told ABC News, “instead of that egg being laid, as it usually is, what’s happened is that another ovum has been released.”

That has fallen, and the chicken has inexplicably chosen to form a shell around both the egg from the day before and the recently fallen ovum.

Although the experts said that eating the egg would have been safe, Scott told ABC News that they receive 50,000 eggs per day and therefore “didn’t bother eating it.”

Quite incredible, don’t you think? If you thought this story was amazing too, tell your friends about it on Facebook!
