(Guiana Graphic April 3, 1963).
Hens the world over produce consistently one egg a day; but the other day Mrs. Muriel Fraser’s ordinary little hen laid… three in a single day.
Last week Mrs. Fraser’s began its alternate second laying spell at Stanleytown West Bank Demerara.
Twice the eggs were laid on the day expected ; but on the third day there were three …one the normal size, another the size of a table tennis ball and the third a little bigger than a large sized peanut.
When the GRAPHIC was told of this unusual phenomenon, the experts were contacted.
Said Mr. Veerasawmy of B.G. Stockfeeds Ltd. “This is not impossible. It once happened in England. I will not say that it is a normal situation.
He explained that the hen, most likely, had strained to lay the first egg and the force she had to used could have caused the others to pass freely.
An Official of the Ministry of Agriculture said: “This is not impossible. This is an atomic age.”
