Sean Wilson's chicken laid an unusually large chicken egg that weighs about 190g, and he filmed a YouTube video to document what was in the egg.
February 2, 2013
Most of us who buy our eggs from the supermarkets may never see some of the odd eggs that chickens lay. Packing factories would have removed them, leaving only the regular ones in trays.
Those who have a chicken may find the occasional abnormal egg with double yolk or odd shape.
A man in the UK discovered that his chicken laid a huge egg that was about 10-inches in circumference and weighed about 190g.
Sean Wilson and his wife filmed a YouTube video of the egg, declaring it to be the possibly "biggest chicken egg in the world".
Sean first lined up a few different types of eggs for comparison: a slightly pointed egg from his chicken, a regular store-bought egg, a regular egg that his chicken lays, and the monster egg.
"We don't know how many yolks there are in it, so we are going to cook it now and make a massive egg sandwich," Sean says as he turns on the stove.
Expecting to find multiple yolks, Sean was stunned to see another regular-sized egg inside, to the amusement of his wife and daughter.
The double egg abnormality, or egg-in-an-egg, has a logical explanation. In 2007, the New Scientist posted a photo from a reader who found an egg inside another egg.
Curator of the British Natural History Museum egg collection, Douglas Russell, replied in response that a likely cause for this is when a series of abnormal contractions force a complete egg back up the oviduct, and another egg forms around the original egg.
"A complete egg within a complete egg is a relatively rare occurrence," Russell said.
Some other egg abnormalities include an egg with more than one yolk, an egg with no yolk, an egg with no shell and odd-shaped eggs.
