weird but cute!! - Is this common?
« on: March 29, 2011, 09:03 »
The other day I hard boiled a few eggs and one had a hard piece inside, I opened it up to find another little egg - really cute!!
The little egg had no yolk, but the large egg did.  Couple of piccies below!
Is this common, has anyone else had one?

I have read that it happens when a normal egg disturbed in the shell gland could move back into the oviduct and start production all over
1 Great Husband, 2 Children, 1 Grandson, 2 Allotments & Secretary, 3 Buff Orpington, 2 Friesian, 2 Barnevelder, 2 Dogs 1 Cocker Spaniel and the other X Labrador, 1 Chinchilla, 1 Cat, 2 Guinea Pigs, 2 Horse and look after 2 more, must be mad

It has only happened once so I am not worried!
