Her Sacrifice was turned into an Omelet

Chris Schauerman, of Honeoye Falls, said he noticed one of his chickens appeared ill one day last week. The hen, named Roberta, died later that night but not before it had laid six eggs, including one that was two and a half times the normal size. … “I came up to the chicken and nudged her. She was barely able to pick up her head before it fell back down to the ground.” The farmer is convinced that it was the effort of laying such a huge egg, which has been christened Little Roberta, that proved too much for the hen. … Mr Schauerman said the egg will briefly be displayed to local schoolchildren before he makes it into an omelet.
