They say you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelette, but for Corrie and Jason Adamson, owners of Simpson Orchards in Leamington, Ont., a huge egg laid by one of their chickens was more than enough.
The egg was almost the size of an orange — Jason said it was bigger than any egg he’d ever seen.
The Adamsons said their store was slow from the snow storm on Wednesday and with their family and a few customers around, they decided to live stream themselves cracking the egg they found two weeks before.
“I guess it was a good day to do it,” Jason said.
When Adamson cracked it on camera, there was a surprise — inside the egg there was another egg.
“I think everybody was kind of stunned that there was an egg inside of the egg,” Jason said.
But Adamson said the second egg wasn’t unexpected.
“We could tell when we moved it a little bit that there was something inside that was hard, hitting the outside egg. So we had a feeling that it was definitely going to be two eggs,” she said.
The egg has been a local attraction for the past few weeks, Adamson said.
“We usually have at least a dozen customers a day come in asking to see it and we have it here on display to show everybody, so we were showing it off while we could,” she said, adding she thinks people will miss the egg now that it’s gone.
Jason said he plans to give the egg to his egg-loving dog now that its been cracked open.
He said her favourite way to eat eggs is, “As fast as she can.”
