Hi All,

 

One of our girls laid the most enormous egg the other day - it weighed in at 140 g, compared to a more usual 60-65 g. We expected it to be a double yolker, but when we cracked it open, we found a second, perfectly intact, egg inside The "outer" egg had its own yolk and white, as did the inner egg, complete with shell.

 

I presume that the first egg got stuck on its way out the day before, and the second egg simply formed around it, enclosing the first egg in a new shell.

 

Has anyone ever seen this before, or is this a first?!

D'oh! Just noticed a similar post "egg in an egg" just below mine - and I thought I had searched!!!

[Egluntyne]

Did you take a picture?

[Peter S]

Unfortunately no - we didn't realise what we had until it was too late!

How interesting.

I like the name Russian eggs

You should put that in the Omlet Dictionary **here**

[Ain't Nobody Here]

How fascinating .

 

I'll add it to the Dictionary and will also add the 140g egg to the Omlet Large Egg Leader Board .

whe I opened this I was thinking what on earth is a russian egg but in fact it is such a lovely description

[kitbag]

That's the first time i have ever heard of that!

Feel a bit of a cheat making it on to the large egg leader board, as it really was two eggs! But feel really honoured to get an entry into the dictionary!
