diligent staff members stumbled upon the
egg, prompting Stockman’s immediate
investigation.Weighing in at a substantial 176 grams, a
whopping three times the average egg
size, this egg was no ordinary find, leaving
Stockman to jest, “she would have had a
pain in the bum,” referring to the chicken’s
probable experience in laying such an
unusual eggAssociate Professor Raf Freire, hailing from
Charles Sturt University’s veterinary
sciences school and an expert in the fileld,
admitted that in his extensive career, he
had never witnessed a phenomenon of this
nature.
From a biological standpoint
comprehending why the smaller egg didn’t
naturally release is proving to be quite
puzzling, Freire acknowledged.
Addressing concerns about the egg’s
safety, Freire reassured the public, stating,
“Normally the double yolks or the triple
yolks are perfectly fine, so I don’t see why
there would be anything wrong with this
one.”Stockman, practical in his approach,
revealed that with a daily egg productior
of approximately 50,000, this specific egg
wasn’t deemed fit for consumption
