Egg-straordinary! Perfectly round egg sells at auction

How do you like your eggs?

Boiled? Scrambled? In an omelette perhaps?

Well, what about perfectly round?!

That's exactly what one lady discovered when she opened a box of eggs she had bought from her local supermarket.

The "one-in-a-billion" super rare find, has now been sold at auction for a cracking £200!

What happened?

The round rarity was found in a box of eggs bought from a supermarket

The spherical egg was first discovered by a lady in Scotland who had bought it from her local supermarket in Ayr.

She decided to put it up for sale, and it it sold for £150.

The buyer who shelled out for the special egg decided to donate it to a local charity which helps young people in his area as they were organising their own auction.

It was then sold a second time for a smashing £200!

Roz Rapp, from the charity, said: "We're delighted and thrilled the egg sold as it means we can continue to do what we are doing."

4. There are only two egg-laying mammals in the world - the duck-billed platypus and the echidna (sometimes known as spiny anteaters).

5. Hens have a special clucking song they sing after they've laid an egg!
