In the early hours of Wednesday morning, Nov. 22, Sibi Moothedan was overjoyed to discover that one of his chickens had produced a perfectly round egg. According to reports, this unusual event, estimated to have a one-in-a-billion probability of occurring, surprised Western Australian chicken owners.

As mentioned, as he was getting ready to make an omelet, he observed that the egg had an extraordinary structure. He then decided to refrain from eating it until he finished sending some images to his family and friends. Moreover, Moothedan encountered another source of happiness when he became aware of the possible price tag associated with such an egg.

After some time, the man researched round eggs on the internet and discovered that the probability of their emerging is one in a billion, and the most recent one found had been sold for more than $1400. Then, he decided not to consume it but to put his luck to the test by selling it on the internet.

Accordingly, through Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace, and eBay, he has placed an advertisement for the 'perfectly round egg' that his backyard chicken laid, which is now being offered for sale for $800. The listing's caption indicates, "Perfectly round egg laid by backyard chicken." In addition, the product has received more than 50 views and also provides the option of shipping.

In an interview with a broadcaster for 3AW in Melbourne, Jacqui Felgate, it was revealed that an Australian woman shopper's 'eggcellent' discovery was packaged in a carton purchased from a Woolworths store in the inner city. In addition to being a 'one in a billion' find, a quick Google indicated that the eggs were traded for considerable money.

According to Felgate, the most recent one-in-a-billion egg discovered was sold for more than $1400. There were various responses from users in reaction to the incredible discovery. Some individuals expressed their compassion for the 'poor chook' who had to produce it, while others took advantage of the occasion to make an egg joke. Commenters also expressed their confusion at the possibly high price tag that a spherical egg may bring, writing that they are curious about who would spend $1400 on such an item. Also, they wonder what they are going to do with it.

On the other hand, some followers claimed that they had to perform a double take because, at first, they perceived the egg to be a massive ball of chocolate or caramel. Nevertheless, there were reports of individuals discovering round eggs on grocery shopping trips. There was even a suggestion that the woman who found the unique egg should try her luck by purchasing a lottery ticket.
