Giant Chick Hatches From 40-Pound Egg on Branson Farm A farmer near Branson, Missouri, has made an extraordinary discovery after one of his ordinary brown hens laid an enormous egg weighing approximately 40 pounds. The massive egg measured nearly two feet long and required two grown men to lift it. But the biggest surprise came when the egg began cracking open. After days of the mother hen sitting protectively on top of it, a gigantic yellow chick emerged from the shell, standing nearly three feet tall and weighing more than 20 pounds. Despite being several times larger than its mother, the newborn immediately began following the little brown hen around the farm, refusing to wander far from her side. The farmer says the chick is already consuming several pounds of feed daily and growing at an astonishing rate. He’s now building a much larger enclosure to accommodate the unusual animal. The biggest mystery is how an ordinary-sized chicken could produce such an enormous egg—and just how large her offspring might eventually become. If this chick is already three feet tall at birth, imagine how big it could be when fully grown! - @bransonareabreakingnews
