When Emma Postlethwaite discovered this giant egg in her chicken coop, she never expected THIS to happen.

Emma Postlethwaite, of Sussex, England, was collecting eggs from her chicken coop when she realized that her hen had done something unbelievable. The family's hen, Wendy, had laid a VERY BIG egg.

In fact, the giant egg weighed 167 grams and was more than twice the size of the other eggs. Emma had never seen anything like this before, so she brought the egg inside to show the rest of her family.

Once inside, Emma decided that the massive egg would be perfect for breakfast. When she cracked it over the pan, she was stunned. Inside of the pan, she saw the contents of a typical egg...but that's not all. There was also another whole egg in the pan that had been inside of the first egg's shell.
Emma never expected to find two eggs inside of one. The condition that caused the egg to look like this is known as counter-peristalsis contraction. This occurs when the ovary releases the second oocyte before the first egg can travel through the hen's body and be laid. The end result? A delicious two for one deal!
