A Texas woman who found an egg the size of a baseball in her chicken coop, cracked it open to find another full egg inside, AP reported.

Earlier this week, Cookie Smith of Abilene found what she called the "mutant super egg", one inch longer and triple the weight of a regular hen's egg.

She initially took pictures of the egg and showed photos to her co-workers at an Abilene hospital.

She cracked it open only after a photographer accompanied her home. Inside was a large yolk and another intact normal-sized egg.

Smith says she knows the eggs may have been OK to eat, but she chose to pass on that.

德州冒出“蛋中蛋”

       德克薩斯州一位婦女從雞舍里找到了一枚像棒球那么大的雞蛋，敲開后卻發現里面還有一個完整的雞蛋。

       據美聯社報道，本周早些時候，艾利比尼的庫奇?史密斯發現了這枚“基因突變的超級蛋”，它比普通的雞蛋長一英寸，重量卻是普通蛋的三倍。

       她先是給它拍了照，并把照片拿給艾利比尼醫院的同事看。

       在攝影師的陪同下，她把雞蛋敲開，結果發現里面除了有一個很大的蛋黃外，還有一枚毫發無損的正常大小的雞蛋。

       史密斯說自己知道這個“超級蛋”應該可以吃，但最后還是決定免了。
