Strangest Egg 

3/17/2015

We have had chickens going on 3 years now and I have seen some interesting and strange things.  We do not have a rooster but our hens have nonetheless given us some interesting science lesson with thier eggs.   

We have had "naked" eggs where the hard shell has not formed around the egg and the egg feels like a partially inflated beach ball.

We have had a number of "double" yolks.

We have had green eggs, purple eggs, brown eggs...etc.

But...I have to say this was the top it all.  I even asked a couple I know with a very large chicken farming operation about this and they reported NEVER having had such an anomoly.  

So...what is it you ask?  Well, my daughter was very proud of the double yolker she brought in from the barn.  Just look at this thing and you can tell it will be amazing as a complete two fried egg breakfast all wrapped up in one.

Well, when I cracked the egg I am very glad I was planning on making scrambled eggs and did not crack it right into the skillet.  You see instead of finding the "typical" double yolk with two beautiful yellow centers...there was a yolk and another egg inside the egg.  Seriously it was one of the "shell-less" eggs inside the egg.  I tried to "crack" it if you will but those eggs don't crack they rather kind of squish and when it did bust open there in fact was a very tiny yolk begining to form inside of it.

Honestly that was the strangest thing ever!  I have helped butcher chickens before and some of the layers would have large egg sacks like that inside that then harden into an egg and are laid, but never one whole egg inside another.  I would love to hear if any of my readers have ever seen such a thing before, or better yet, any other egg strange-ness that I have not see yet that you have experienced?  Comment below, I would love to hear from you!
