The Olive-Egger thread!

Yep. Ate it for breakfast this morning after the accidental cracking. The shell was a bit soft but otherwise normal inside.

Here's some info on how that happens: http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/01/how-hen-makes-egg-egg-oddities.html?m=1

One of my young OE's gave me the largest chicken egg I've ever seen! What was inside? A regular yolk and white, and... another whole egg! She is a Birchen Marans x Easter Egger. No. This is not her usual egg! Anyone else seen this before

Yes, we had one of those once. Pretty rare and so fun!

Ours had a regular white/yolk egg inside also. Totally cool.
