An expert from Charles Sturt University’s veterinary sciences school said he had never seen anything like it before.
One of our Free Range Girls has been working overtime. Check out this whopper! The average egg weighs around 58gms and this beauty came in at 176gms!!!
Associate Professor Raf Freire says the hen must have produced an egg as normal but for some reason didn’t lay it.
“Then the next day, rather than that egg being laid, like it usually is, what’s happened is that there’s been another ovum released,” he told ABC News.
“That’s come down and then the chicken has somehow decided to make its shell around both the previous day’s egg and the new ovum that’s come down.”
According to the experts the egg would have been safe to eat but Scott told ABC News that they get 50,000 eggs a day so “didn’t bother eating it.”
