Finally we got the answer thanks to a hen who is dead. She gave birth to live baby chick.
This baby chick is perfectly healthy. He was hatched from the egg inside the mother’s body. She died after giving birth to it though.
Mr PR Yapa performed the post-mortem to find out the cause of death.
Instead of being laid as a normal egg, it incubated inside the mother for 21 days. Very interesting!
He told AFP news: “I had only heard about such aberrations, but I was able to see it for myself today. There were lacerations and a tear of the reproductive tract that caused the death. The baby is doing well.”
So after all these years, we got the answer but I somehow feel sorry for the mom. It would have been so nice if she had been around to celebrate this discovery with us.
