This video by YouTube user Elman511 shows a chicken egg that contains another chicken egg -- shell and all -- inside. I suspected this was a hoax until I read about the phenomenon of ovum in ovo:
Douglas Russell, speaking about the phenomenon in the New Scientist, said: "As the curator of the British Natural History Museum egg collection, I've come across quite a few examples of egg oddities.
"Double eggs (as opposed to multiple-yolked eggs) are less common than some other zoological anomalies and consequently the ovum in ovo has attracted specific scholarly attention for hundreds of years.
"Several theories have been proposed for the origin of double eggs.
"The most likely suggests that the normal rhythmic muscular action, or peristalsis, that moves a developing egg down the oviduct malfunctions in some way."

The big egg is a lot bigger!!!
"Weeeeiirrrdddd" :)
Anywho... that was pretty neat. I've had an egg w/ double yolk before, but never that.
I'm not sure if it's a groan in agony, but hens def do make sounds when they're laying.
(BTW- I'm on Team BigEgg! I like that guy!)
Doesn't take away the "neat" factor of it for me. Still a totally cool thing.
