Woman cracks open egg to find... another egg?

A woman was shell shocked after she cracked an egg - and found another one inside it.

Fran Vincent, 54, made the eggs-traordinary discovery when she opened the 5.50z free range egg to make a cake.

She was astonished to find a smaller egg - perfectly intact - inside the larger 3.5ins one, which she had bought from a supermarket.

Fran, a factory worker from Seaton, Devon, said: "I thought it looked a bit big - I thought it might have been a duck egg at first.

"I cracked it open and out came the white and yolk but inside was another egg in its shell. I have never seen anything like it before - they're almost like twins."

David Lanning, of Lloyd Maunder poultry firm, said it was "extremely rare" for a double egg to reach a customer.

He said: "An incongruity like this would normally be picked up during the checking phase at the farm.

"As it was being formed it passed down through the hen's oviduct - the passage from the ovaries to the outside of the body - where the shell is made.

"In young hens, ovulating can be quite irregular. The hen has obviously ovulated quickly twice. The second egg has caught up with the first and the shell has formed around the two of them.

"It's more common with young hens. It's unusual and doesn't happen that often. But it is extremely rare for it to reach the shop shelf."

My god this news article is full of terrible puns.

You've cracked open a human and found an egg?

No, humans don't lay eggs you silly. Means he's cracked open and human and found another human.

[??????]

The woman puts Russian egg toys in her cake? 0_o

I'm confused...

 

[Cain]

Wow, good thing there wasn't a chicken in there. It would be the SPAWN OF SATAN!

Seriously though, that is pretty neat. I would keep it. Until it went bad, at least.

Thats interesting. I remember one time my mom asked me to crack open an egg and there were 2 yolks inside. It was weird.

 

[Dark SpOOn Bender]

More for her money I guess

I cracked open an egg once and found two perfectly round yolks in it, but that isn't as strange as cracking open an egg and finding another egg inside.

You've cracked open a human and found an egg?

lolwut

 

[Vantage]

Those puns are spEGGtacular. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!11!!11!!!1eleventyone1!!!

But honestly, that's bizzare.

 

[Conquistador]

Ugh, those puns burn me.


How odd, though. I'm suprised it made it all the way to packaging...

 

[indigestible_wad]

Was this really thread worthy?

 

[Kakumei]

If it's nothing really new & unusual (the fact that one egg forms inside an extra shell) than seriously, why is it news? :/

 

[bobjr]

Isn't this a sign of the apocalypse? If only she was scratching a lucky lotto ticket instead.

 

[Rave]

I've heard of something like this before.

This isn't as exiting as a chicken laying a humongous egg, and cracking it, only to find another egg inside.

Incedentally that was a Sci-Fi Channel original horror movie.

Either its a coincidence that the things I mention are related to movies, or I must be some psychic that somehow conjures quotes and plots up without even seeing the movies.
