Flo or Gertie left us another mysterious egg creation. We did NOT eat this one nor did we open it. I still hope that one day we get an egg within an egg.

Cross your fingers!

A few days ago we found this wonky egg in our coop, thanks to Flo or Gertie. We kept it in our fridge for a little bit but soon realized that none of us would ever dare eat it. After a little bit of research, I found that there exists a long list of chicken-egg oddities including blood spots (seen it), double yolks (not yet seen it), shell-less eggs that feel like water balloons (gross!), and perhaps the craziest egg one might encounter which is an egg within another egg. It’s like you crack open an egg and voilà, another egg! CRAZY! Suddenly our lumpy egg doesn’t seem so weird.

But look at it! It’s so freaky!
