I would have put that egg in incubator to hatch. Might be interesting to see what comes out.

That chicken is valuable. Could be a mutant and new breed of super egg layer.

Many good stories begin like that.

I believe the phrase you may be looking for is ‘a turkey in the woodpile.’

Reminds me of Red Skelton playing his Clem Kadiddlehopper character "at the county fair." He checks the chicken with the blue ribbin and spots the egg - a white cube! The face and gesture is pure Skelton - hilarious.

Speaking of white cubes, I used to press hard boiled eggs into perfect square cubes. I had bought a novelty plastic press designed for that purpose. I would peel a boiled egg immediately after removing it from boiling water. I would drop it into the press, insert a piston, then turn a screw collar on the piston to force the egg into a square shape. After the egg cooled off, it would retain the shape. A great party joke.

Some people asked where I got square eggs from. I replied, square chickens. Very painful to lay though.
