Is it unusual?

I don't keep chickens....only eat 'em and their eggs. Thus, they can be a bit of a mystery to me. Anyroadup, I cracked open an egg for yesterday's yorkshire pudds and found it had a bit extra. No, I don't mean a double or treble yoker - I am quite used to those. What it had inside it was another egg. It was larger than a pea, but it was complete. It had a shell, albeit soft, and albumen inside. Inside that was a yoke. I have never come across this before and wondered just how unusual it is. Also, what would have happenned if the egg had been allowed to mature after fertilization? Just wodered.

It's unusual but not unheard of. Sometimes the little egg only had a white. Strange eh?
