Who doesn’t love eggs for breakfast? No matter if you like them scrambled, poached or even fried, eggs are the best way to start your day in a healthy way. They give us the energy we need and are a perfect combo with cheese, tomatoes and bacon. Although it is unusual, some eggs may have two yolks. Do you remember coming across an egg like this? Even if that’s the case, there’s a Texas farmer who can boast something way cooler than a two-yolked egg. And it’s a double egg. If you don’t know what we’re talking about, take a look at this amazing story.
Double-shelled eggs are so rare that even though there are videos of people opening them, many people are convinced they aren’t real.
The process occurs when “an egg almost ready to be laid changes direction and receives a new layer of albumen covered by a second shell,” reports Poultry Help.
According to Countryside Network, the process that causes the egg to invert is called “counterperistalsis contraction.”
However, there is this YouTube video of a man who describes himself as “just an old Texas farmer enjoying nature” discovering a huge egg laid by a medium-sized chicken. The video was uploaded in July 2015 and has so far been viewed more than 3 million times.
The farmer begins to tap the egg and makes a small crack in the shell. He then peels off a small part and you can clearly see the yellow.
“Oh, I see another surprise! » he said with a little laugh.
“A double egg!”
The farmer slowly pours the yolk from the shell, until only the inner egg remains. He says, “No double yolks, that’s for wimps.” We have double eggs! »
The second egg that was inside the big one is normal size. He breaks that one too, and it’s just a plain egg, like the ones you buy at the grocery store.
Take a look at this rarity and be sure to SHARE it with your friends.
