Egg-citing Discovery: An Egg Inside An Egg!

What is the chance of you finding an egg inside another egg? Apparently one in several million eggs, and one lucky housewive actually came across such an “egg-citing” discovery.

Egg-citing Discovery: An Egg Inside An Egg!

This egg within another egg was bought from a normal supermarket in Kyoto recently.

According to a spokeperson from the poultry research division at the Gifu Prefectural Livestock Research Institute:

“It seems to happen more when chickens get stressed”.

During the egg production process, it is not unheard of for a partially developed egg to flow back into the chicken’s ovarian duct and then become covered by another shell as the process continues on a new egg.

    Ahh, the news. Such is the life. If I had an egg like that, I wouldn’t eat it. I’m sure it’s safe to eat, especially after being processed, but it’s just kind of…no thanks.
