An Auckland man has made an unusual discovery while cooking his wife some breakfast one morning, he cracked open the egg ready to put it on the fry pan and there it was another egg! He said wait a minute, this is unusual!
and unusual it was. Industry experts say the phenomenon only occurs about once in every three million eggs.
"They generally occur with young birds starting to lay and just learning the practice of laying eggs" says Michael Brooks.
"They lay a small egg, they mistake it to be just a yolk so they lay another egg over the top of that egg and so you have an egg inside an egg."
Interest in weird eggs dates back to 1250 when Dominican friar Albertus Magnus recorded his discovery of "an egg with two shells". Mr Biggen has offered his find to the Auckland Museum, but has also thought of a way to cash in.
