"I thought it was a joke and that one of my neighbours had put the egg in there for fun," he said. "But the next day there was another egg and so on the third day I waited - and was amazed when I saw that the rooster laid an egg." A local TV station has since picked up the story prompting local agricultural ministry scientists to turn up to perform tests on the bird in an attempt to get to the bottom of the mystery.
