Farmer finds giant egg but what was inside was crazy

It’s not uncommon for eggs to have two yolks, but a Texas farmer recently found something even cooler: a double egg.

A double egg is an egg that contains two complete eggs, each with its own yolk, white, and shell. It’s a very rare occurrence, and this farmer was lucky enough to find one.

If you’re not familiar with double eggs, here’s a quick explanation: they happen when a hen lays two eggs very close together, and the second egg gets trapped inside the first. The two eggs then fuse together, creating a double egg.

Double eggs are not harmful to eat, but they’re not very common. So if you ever find one, consider yourself lucky!

Here’s the story of how the Texas farmer found his double egg:

The farmer’s incredible discovery

One morning, while checking on his chickens, a farmer stumbled upon a massive egg in one of the nests. He had never seen an egg so big before.

Curious, the farmer cracked open the egg to see what was inside. To his amazement, he found two complete eggs, each with its own yolk, white, and shell.

The farmer was so excited about his discovery that he took a picture of the double egg and shared it online. The photo quickly went viral, and people from all over the world marveled at the rare find.

The farmer’s double egg is a reminder of the incredible diversity of the natural world. It’s also a reminder that even the most ordinary things can sometimes surprise us.

Poultry Help explains that double-shelled eggs form when an egg that is nearly ready to

 be laid reverses direction and gets a new layer of albumen covered by a second shell. Countryside Network calls this process a “counter-peristalsis contraction.”

One YouTube video shows a man who describes himself as “just an old Texas farmer appreciating nature” discovering a huge egg laid by an average-sized chicken. The video, uploaded in July 2015, has been viewed over 3 million times.

The farmer taps the egg and makes a small crack in the shell. He then peels off a small piece, revealing the yolk.

“Oh, I see another surprise!” he chuckles. “A double egger!”

This video is just one example of the many videos that have been uploaded to YouTube of people cracking open double-shelled eggs. While some people may still be skeptical, the evidence is clear: double-shelled eggs are real.

 

 

The farmer slowly pours the yolk out of the shell, until only the inner egg remains. He says, “No double yolks, that’s for wimps. We got double eggs!”
