YES IT'S A CHICKEN EGG
Cook finds gecko in chook egg
Dr Peter Beaumont, 60, was cooking Thai fishcakes for dinner when he found a fully formed gecko inside an egg shell. He believes the discovery may be a world first and may help solve a food poisoning puzzle.
"I was cracking the eggs into a pan when I noticed one of them was all cloudy.
"I looked at the shell and saw a tiny gecko.''
Dr Beaumont said the lizard had not got into the shell after he had discarded it because the reptile was embedded between the inner-shell and the egg's membrane.
He said the gecko may have crawled into the chicken to feast on an embryo -- and got stuck.

The egg then formed around the lizard.
