Ok, my wife's uncle has chickens. He told us that a cow pushed over a fence and it squashed a hen and squeezed a bunch of eggs out of her, all in various stages of development.

Sounds a bit fishy, so I thought I'd post it here for your feedback.
 
I've seen several stages like that from butchering chickens.
It takes two weeks from when the egg starts to develop to when the egg is laid. Since their eggs are laid approximatly 25 hours apart (give or take) it would make sense that there would be two weeks worth of eggs in her body.

I've seen eggs in various stages of development when butchering as well. I'd imagine if the fence came down on the chicken with enough force, what was inside could come out. Poor thing :/
