A hard-working Australian farmer didn’t know he was in for a surprise when he went to collect eggs from his chickens each day.
Imagine his surprise when he found an egg three times larger than usual and weighing 180 grams! This incredible discovery was made by one of the breeding hens of Stockman’s Eggs, located in the picturesque Atherton Tables of North Queensland.
The owner of the farm, Scott Stockman, could hardly contain his excitement when he proudly shared a photo of this mammoth egg. Although its size was surprising, what was inside was even more interesting. Inside the egg was another fully grown egg!
“It’s absolutely mind-blowing,” exclaimed Scott in an interview with ABC News Australia. “To have two perfectly formed eggs together is just incredible.”
Even experts nod at this rare phenomenon. Associate Professor Raf Freire, a veterinary expert at Charles Sturt University, admitted he had never seen anything like it. He said the hen went through normal egg development but failed to hatch for unknown reasons.
Instead, the next day a new egg was laid, and to the hen’s surprise, she decided to build a shell around both the previous day’s egg and the new egg.
