A rare 'perfectly spherical' egg was found on a farm - and could fetch up to ?200 at an auction sale. Egg processer Ali Greene was working at a shift when she saw one egg "moving differently" on the conveyor belt. The woman who works for Fenton Farm Eggs in Devon found that the chances to find a round egg are "one in a billion". After doing some research she found out that in the past a round egg was sold for ?200. And she is now hoping to sell the egg found in the farm at an auction sale in Exeter on March 18 raise funds for a charity.]
But she was left stunned by finding one that was completely spherical – something that has a one-in-a-billion chance of occurring. ‘I’ve probably processed about 30,000 eggs since I’ve been here’, said Ali. ‘I put the eggs on a conveyor belt and they then get dropped into trays.

‘And this one just wouldn’t go through into the trays because it was the wrong shape. ‘I took it out and showed it to Andrew, the boss. I did some research and found spherical eggs are one-in-a-billion.’. But rather than keep it for herself, kind-hearted Ali is now set to auction off the rare egg and donate the proceeds to charity.

She contacted auctioneers Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood who told her they would put it up under the hammer. Ali added the egg was now covered in lard and salt to help preserve it. ‘Whoever buys it will probably want to blow it and keep the shell intact.They can mount it and be one of the few people on the planet to own one.’.
