I found an egg in the chicken coop on Saturday. Here is a photo. The egg was big and heavy. It was bigger than a clothes pin but smaller than a bread box. The shell felt thin and when I moved it around I felt like there was something heavy inside. I opened the egg on Sunday. Inside I found a yolk, some egg white, and another whole egg with shell included. It reminded me of Russian nesting dolls. The inside egg was normal in size. I opened that egg and found a single yolk and egg white. At first I wondered if the egg was safe to eat. I knew the egg inside the small shell would be good to eat but what about the egg outside the inner shell? I figured both eggs were probably in the ovary when the outer shell was formed so both should be good to eat. I made French toast. The giant egg tasted fine. I know it was Phyllis or Kelly who constructed this unusual egg. I observed them both. They walked normally and acted normally so I guess they are okay.
