agree to reports , over in Australia , a mammoth wimp ballock – which already surprised the preside farm ’s proprietor for being three time more massive than their even eggs – was happen to have something very left over inside .

Another egg .

Let ’s take a present moment to console the manufacturer of the hyperegg herself , whom the farmer suggested would be suffering from a “ pain in the so-and-so ” .

ABC Newsspoke to an associate professor of veterinary science , but they were left without answers . Weirdly , they also touch on to the bollock as a babushka , which is Russian for " old woman " or " nanna " . We think they meanmatryoshka , as in the Russian stacked skirt , but hey .

Eggs with multiple yolksaren’t too rarified , but this ? What is the black magic behind this esthetically worrying incident of egg - ception ?

Plot twist : this phenomenon is n’t actually new , and has in fact been documentedbefore , including most recently on another chicken farmin Texas . Part of the process is – as note byBuzzFeedin 2013 – technically known as comeback - peristalsis contraction , and it ’s less to do with magic and more to do with a in short malfunctioning volaille .

“ vermiculation ” refers to wave - corresponding muscular muscle contraction ; the “ sideboard ” just refers to the fact that it ’s blend in the incorrect room . This is n’t hen nut specific , mind you , as it describes any such cognitive operation in which an Fallopian tube or a interchangeable piece of biological architecture work in reverse .

As explained rather neatly bySploidback in 2017 , exactly what you may conceive happened actually did : an nut , not quite ready to be toss off out yet , withdrew back up into the biddy , and another eggs shape around it during a second ovulation event .

This sound fairly uncomfortable for the hen : the first ballock does n’t just slip back up behind the womb , within which the racing shell learn shape . It ’s actually forced right smart back up through the oviduct . It ’s then dragged along as the second egg – which already has its egg yolk , but is still accumulating its blank – makes its journey downwards .

When that one is all shell up and quick to shoot out , it does , carrying its eggy stowaway with it . It ’s not just clear why this process takes place , but in all situations , both the inner and outer eggs are almost certainly perfectly comestible . The weirdness factor probably commit those that regain such things off from moil in , however .
