Going out to collect the eggs is a relatively routine task for many farmers. For a farmer in Australia, however, collecting the eggs from his hands took a rather strange turn one day.

As he was gathering eggs from the hens, he found an egg that was absolutely huge. It weighed 6.2 ounces, which is approximately three times the size of a normal egg.

A free-range chicken at his farm laid the babushka egg. The farmer, Scott Stockman put a picture of the unusually sized egg online but there was something more that was hidden.

When you look at the egg next to an average-sized egg, it almost looks fake. After the egg was cracked open, however, that is when the real show began.

The egg was cracked and on the inside, they found a perfectly formed second egg. In speaking with the local news, Scott said it was incredible to have two perfectly formed eggs together.

At Charles Strutt University, one of the experts and their veterinary sciences classes said that it was the first time he had ever seen something like it. He feels that the head must’ve produced the egg but didn’t lay it.

Since the egg was inside of the hen for a full day, another ovum was released. The shell of the new ovum would have been made around the egg left from the previous day.

The interior egg would have been safe to eat according to experts but he didn’t bother eating it because they gather some 50,000 eggs every day.

I guess eggs aren’t always for dinner at that house!
