Show Mrs. F. J. Ward Reports She Has A Pullet That Laid Two Eggs In One Ripley's best egg story in "Believe "Be-lieve It Or Not", has nothing on one of her pullets, figures Mrs. F. J. Ward, who reported an unusual un-usual freak egg laid Sunday by one of her young hens. - This wasn't just a double-yolk egg but a double egg. From her pen of around 100 pullets, just getting well into their first laying season, the Wards think nothing of finding one, two or even three double-yoked double-yoked eggs in a day's collection. Mrs. Ward figures the hens are doing their best to conform to the war production urge. But Sunday's laying brought a real surprise. When she gathered the several dozen eggs, she noted that one was at least as large again as even a double-yolked specimen. She figured it might be a triple-yolked triple-yolked egg, since she had heard of such a happening. But when she broke the shell, one extra large egg fell into her bowl, followed fol-lowed by a second large egg, completely encased in its own shell. A pretty big job for which ever pullet was responsible, she figures. |
