Farmer Discovers Giant Egg with an Even More Baffling Surprise Inside

Advertisement

When an Australian farmer went to collect his chickens’ daily egg delivery, he experienced the shock of his life.

A massive egg, three times the size of a typical one and weighing 6.2 ounces, had been laid by one of his hens.

This colossal egg was produced by a free-range chicken at Stockman’s Eggs in north Queensland’s Atherton Tablelands.

The company’s owner, Scott Stockman, shared a picture of the remarkable find his team made at the property. The egg looked incredibly strange when placed next to a regular-sized egg, but what they discovered after cracking it open was even more astonishing. Inside was a second, perfectly developed egg.

“It’s just incredible actually—to have two perfectly formed eggs together,” Scott told ABC News Australia.

A veterinary sciences expert from Charles Sturt University, associate professor Raf Freire, claimed to have never seen anything like it. He explained that the hen must have developed an egg as usual but, for some reason, didn’t lay it.

“Then the next day, rather than that egg being laid, like it usually is, what’s happened is that there’s been another ovum released,” he said. “That’s come down and then the chicken has somehow decided to make its shell around both the previous day’s egg and the new ovum that’s come down.”

According to experts, the egg would have been fine to eat, but Scott mentioned that with 50,000 eggs daily, they “didn’t bother eating it.”
