Bunk Strutts at Say No To Crack explains where these “long eggs†come from. Why, from long chickens, of course!
“Yep they’re longer, bigger hens. But we don’t raise ‘em for the meat so much as the aigs. A reglar chicken don’t lay no more than one a day. These chickens lay one long one every three days, an’ it take about three hens lined up to hatch it.â€

Like a Melton Mowbrey pork pie, except rectangular, and with a cross section of cooked egg in the middle.
Two in a row ..?
I liked the neat stuff better.

"When they go to roost after peckin’ around all day, we gotta strap their fannies to the top of the cage so’s they don’t fall over backward.â€
And yes, the packaging is written in Japanese.
Would it make a lot of sense that longer hens make longer eggs? Hahahaha.
Thank you for this funny posting!
it's not intentionally a hoax, but can turn into one when folks post links as credible. but in this case, the title of the post ends with a question mark, implying that the post might be fully credible.
the fake eggs from china (man-made eggs) turned out to be an actual hoax.
The real questions is....
Just imagine the egg coming out,
sideways
ouch

First time listener, long time caller.....
I'm sure in this case the egg came first, then the chicken. I don't find it hard to believe this is an actual product. Everything about this egg, of course, is processed. Similar to the EggBeater brand of scrambled eggs in a carton. Someone had the bright, albeit funny idea of concocting a long chicken to explain a long egg.
I consider it to be amusing. I don't consider it to be amusing of people who took this picture and article seriously....lol.

Those really ARE long eggs, packaged by a Japanese company, as some of the commenters pointed out. Those are real hens, not photoshopped. (I used MS Paint and Roxio Photosuite 4, but that’s a minor point.) Your assessment is correct, it is definitely not a hoax. Heh.

Response to J. Tithonus Pednaud's comment, i.e., "...let’s start with the fact that there is no ‘Strutts News Services’ and the author of the article is one ‘Bunk Strutts’."
Here's what you have to do, Barney. Google "Strutts News Services" and you should turnip several links to stories from SNS. All in fun.
