A ranch employee in Devon has actually found what she thinks to be a “one-in-a-billion” round egg.

The 57-year-old currently intends to send it to public auction in Exeter in March with the profits mosting likely to the Devon Rape Crisis charity.

Discussing the minute she located the egg in December, Greene claimed: “It was really surprising because they roll in a specific way and this one just didn’t – it just stood out.

“It’s now something that nobody else has. Elon Musk hasn’t got a round egg has he?”

Greene included: “Hopefully, it will sell for a lot of money.”

Brian Goodison-Blanks, a salesclerk at Bearnes Hampton & & Littlewood Auctioneers based in Exeter, claimed: “Spherical chicken eggs are quite unusual and there have been people that have paid north of £100 and sometimes £200 for them.”

Last month, a round chicken’s egg that a male automatically purchased after a couple of pints cost public auction in Berkshire for ₤ 200.
