Nov 24, 2009: Gecko found inside ordinary chicken egg



This will put you off eggs for a while, I imagine, or maybe you'll just say we have here a built-in omelet filling. It's actually a gecko, and it was actually found inside an egg purchased in a supermarket, in the NW territories, AU.

Even more grim is the theory of how it got there. Finder Dr Peter Beaumont thinks the gecko crawled into the hen while the egg was forming, in search of a lovely chicken embryo meal... and got stuck and died there, and the egg formed around it.

The gecko was embedded between the inner shell and the egg's membrane -- proof that the beast hadn't gotten into the egg after it was cracked.

See, this is why, you teach your children not to crawl up chicken butts.

no way

I've kept chickens for 30 years and seriously doubt this story. Lizards are not hanging around looking to go up some random chicken ass. Someone just wanted publicity.

But that chicken just saved a bunch of money on her egg insurance!

That's why you should only ever use hamsters or gerbils.
