Who doesn’t love eggs for breakfast, right? Whether you like them scrambled, poached, or sunny side up, eggs are a perfect way to start your day. They give you the energy you need and go great with cheese, tomatoes, and bacon.
Sometimes, you might come across an egg with two yolks. Have you ever seen one? Well, a farmer in Texas found something even more amazing than a double-yolk egg—an egg within an egg! Curious? Read on to find out more.
Although some videos show people cracking open double-shelled eggs, many folks think they’re fake because of how rare they are.
According to Poultry Help, this happens when “an egg that is nearly ready to be laid reverses direction and gets a new layer of albumen covered by a second shell.” Countryside Network explains that this process is called a “counter-peristalsis contraction.”
In July 2015, a YouTube video was posted by a man who calls himself “just an old Texas farmer appreciating nature.” He found a huge egg laid by an average-sized chicken. As of now, the video has more than 3 million views!
In the video, the farmer starts tapping the egg, causing the shell to crack slightly. He removes a small piece of the shell and reveals the yolk inside.
Laughing, he says, “Oh, I see another surprise! It’s a double egger!”
He carefully pours out the yolk, revealing a smaller egg nestled inside the larger one. “No double yolks, that’s for wimps,” he jokes. “We got two eggs!”
The smaller egg inside looks just like the regular eggs you buy at the grocery store. The farmer cracks it open to reveal a perfectly normal egg.
