A farmer discovered an unusually Giant Egg. What's inside was another egg?
Before cracking the egg open, he joked that another egg might be inside. Imagine his surprise when another egg really was inside!According to Backyard Poultry magazine, though quite rare, it is well-known that a hen will occasionally lay an egg inside of an egg. The cause of this phenomenon is called a counter-peristalsis contraction and occurs while the hen is in the process of forming an egg in her oviduct.
