Matryoshka egg: a huge chicken egg with a surprise inside was discovered in Australia (4 photos)
An egg the size of an adult man's hand was discovered on a family farm in the small Australian town of Carey. But the unusual size was not the only surprise. What surprised the farmers most was what was inside when the huge egg was broken.
Scott Stockman, the owner of the farm, spoke about an unprecedented find - a chicken egg weighing 176 grams and three times larger than usual. The farmers were even more surprised when they broke it in half. Inside, in addition to the required white and yolk, there was another smaller egg.
“This is a real miracle of nature, this happens extremely rarely,” said the farmer. “We were really hoping to see four yolks.”
In total, three thousand chickens live on the farm, which are cared for with love, and it is difficult to figure out who the record holder is. The eggs are collected by a special apparatus that farmer Stockman calls “Zippy”. The owners themselves do not understand how this is possible, although eggs weighing 140 grams have previously been found.
