Hey guys, I just had to share this because this is so cool!! One of my easter egger chicks just started laying, and a few days egg she layed this monster egg. It's about 1nch wide and 2inches long, it looks more like a potato than an egg Well today we cracked it open thinking there might be three or four yolks, but guess what? She layed an egg inside an egg!! Two yolks in all, one inside the small egg and one inside the large shell carrying the small egg. I've never seen anything like this, have you? Pics below

OH, miss read that, there WAS another whole egg inside the large. Never in my life heard of such. Wouldn't that be something if she kept doing that?

I think it also happens when a lesser developed egg catches up with a more developed egg in the hens system. The shell is then reformed around the new egg and the existing egg.

Yes, I googled it and it's called "counter-peristalsis contraction"

I don't think it's likely, but it would be cool!!

I've had a couple double yoked eggs before. Another tiny one with no yolk in it all from the same chicken! It is normal to see some wonky eggs from those that just started laying. But those yolks are a weird color!

One is yellow . She laid one unbroken egg beside the egg yolk of the other egg in the same bowl.The reason its an odd color is its still in the shell.

Yes, until now I've never had a chicken lay an egg like that.

Update:

Since this post, my hen has layed 4 more eggs like this!!! I have determined that she has and egg laying defect because she rarely lays a normal egg or any egg at all.

I have limited space in my flock, so I think the most wise choice would be to find her another home. Do you think anybody would want her?

Yes, that's what I'm thinking too. All my easter egger chickens are small (they almost look like bantams) and you should have seen my face when I found that egg

Are your chickens stunted? They should be bigger than bantams .
