Matryoshka egg: a huge chicken egg with a surprise inside was discovered in Australia

An egg the size of an adult man's hand was found on a family farm in the small Australian town of Keiri (in 2011 the population was only 450 people). But the unusual size was not the only surprise. Most of all, the farmers were surprised by what was inside when the huge egg was broken.

Scott Stockman, the owner of the farm, told about an unprecedented find – a chicken egg weighing 176 grams and measuring three times larger than usual. The farmers were even more surprised when they broke it in half. Inside, in addition to the put protein and yolk, there was another smaller egg.

"This is a real miracle of nature, this rarely happens," the farmer said. "We were really hoping to see four yolks."

In total, three thousand chickens live on the farm, which are cared for with love, and it is difficult to figure out who is the record holder. Eggs are collected by a special device, which farmer Stockman calls "Zippy" ('Zippy'). The owners themselves do not understand how this is possible, although they previously found eggs weighing 140 grams.
