Rs 43,000 for an egg?!!! How is this egg helping sexual violence and abuse survivors?

How much does an egg cost in the market? Vendors charge between Rs 7 and Rs 15 for an egg depending on availability. Whether it is a chicken egg or a duck egg, this price will be almost the same. Now, social media is shocked to hear the price of a special egg available in Britain. Various discussions are going on about this. It is reported that a special egg available in Britain will cost $ 500 (approximately Rs 43,000). Let's check out the reason for this.

This information has been reported by the New York Post. The employees of the Fenton Farm in Britain has found a perfectly round egg! This egg is shaped uniformly spherical, unlike ordinary eggs, which are slightly pointed at the ends and narrower in the middle. This egg is a one-in-a-million occurrence which resulted in such an astounding price, according to the report. This egg was sold at an auction at the farm.

Alison Green from the farm who has handled more than 42 million eggs in three years said that she has never witnessed such a unique thing. The egg was discovered before Christmas and was preserved in salt to prevent spoilage. Alison Green thinks that buyers will not eat the egg but preserve it because of its uniqueness. This is not the first time that a perfectly round egg has been found. An Australian woman had also found eggs with such characteristics in 2023.

BBC reports that the egg was sold for $500 at Bearnes Hampton Littlewood Auctioneers in Exeter. The auction proceeds will go to the Devon Rape Crisis — a charity offering support to sexual violence and abuse survivors.
