What is this egg?!?

[vanillachicks]

my aunt just found this egg in her yard. we have no clue what layed it, or wheather it will hatch. she has no chickens near her neighborhood, and her yard is surrounded by a six-foot fence. what is it?!?

... did my image work?...

anyway, if it doesn't work, the egg is the size of a medium chicken egg. it is greenish in color with brown, stain-like markings on it. it is much smoother than any chicken egg.
it kinda looks like a huge, dirty robin's egg. (we live in Maryland, by the way)
