A rather unusual egg...

You can imagine our excitement when an email dropped into our inbox announcing one of our ex-bats had laid THIS egg!

It seems that Twinksie decided one day she’d give her owner, Anabel Mulcahy, something to really shout about with this perfectly round egg!

Shout she did, and before long, news of this one-in-a-billion egg had made its way to news outlets across the UK and even as far as India and New York! If that egg hasn't done the rounds, we don’t know what has...

Anabel, after finding out just how rare this little egg was, decided to auction it on eBay, hoping to raise enough money to extend her run and rehome even more hens.

Yet another perfect example of hens helping hens – clever little Twinksie.
