Eggs are a traditional morning item that can be eaten poached or scrambled, and they’re a terrific way to start the day full of energy. They make a healthy supper when combined with cheese, tomatoes, and bacon. While finding a double-yolked egg can be uncommon and thrilling, a farmer in Texas discovered something even more remarkable: two eggs.
Even though there is video proof that double-shelled eggs exist, many people are still dubious about their veracity. According to Poultry Help, this phenomenon happens when an almost-ready egg changes direction within the hen, gaining a second shell and an extra coating of albumen. This reversal is described as a “counter-peristalsis contraction” by the Countryside Network.
A guy identifying himself as “just an old Texas farmer marveling at nature” posted a video on YouTube in July 2015 that has received over 3 million views. In it, he displayed a large egg deposited by a chicken the size of a regular chicken. The farmer can be seen in the video softly tapping the egg and then shattering the shell to reveal the yolk.
He laughs and says, “Well, it looks like there’s another surprise here!” “Two eggs in one!”
He then pours out the yolk, removing the inside egg in the process. “Forget double yolks; we’re talking double eggs here,” he remarks with pride. When the inside egg—which first looks to be of normal size—is split open, a conventional egg—just like the ones you usually find in stores—is revealed.
