Brazil: These EGGS are utterly eggs-ceptional!

In somewhat uneggsplainable circumstances, Charlotte the chicken has shell-shocked the town’s people of Atafona by laying eggs with fully formed eggs inside, Friday. This has led people to describe her as the mother-hen of all eggceptions. Catching up with Charlotte’s owner Seu Jair in his hometown just outside Rio de Janiero, the lucky chicken-keeper explained that his six-month year old hen started producing far larger eggs than her feathery friends. On cracking open Charlotte’s produce, Seu had a surprise when he found another fully-formed egg within its shell. Charlotte’s eggs, which are reportedly always the same size, measure an estimated 17cm high and 12 cm wide. This means they are more than double the size of a common or garden variety. Biologists have stated that the unusual phenomenon may be caused by a malfunction in Charlotte's uterus, where she is unable to fully expel the first egg without trapping a second inside. Seu decided to name his hen in a tribute to Diana, the late Princess of Wales, giving the chicken her middle name. A fitting tribute to the former-philanthropist, we hope that Charlotte the chicken will continue to lend an eggstra dimension to her owners’ lives.
