Oban Farmer discovers monster egg!

A massive egg three times the size of an ordinary large one has been found on a poultry farm in Scotland. The 203g (7oz) specimen was laid at a free range farm, on the isle of Seil, near Oban.

Mrs Macaskill said: "It came through on the collection conveyor belt and I didn't know what it was at first - it's the biggest egg I have ever seen."

Owner Flo Macaskill spotted the egg, which has a soft shell and is the size of a baked potato, on a conveyer belt.She does not know which hen was responsible but reckons its efforts were equivalent to a woman giving birth to a 24lb (10.88kg) baby.

Her husband, Ewen, 58, who helps out on the farm, said the egg definitely stood out from the crowd.
