An extremely rare, completely round egg has been found by a shell-shocked farm worker.

Ali Greene has seen tens of thousands of regular ones in her job.

But she was left stunned by finding one that was spherical.

The chance of an egg being round is one-in-a-billion.

Ali, who works at Fenton Farm, Holcombe Rogus, near Tiverton, Devon, said: “I’ve probably processed about 30,000 eggs since I’ve been here.

“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.”

Kind-hearted Ali is now set to sell it at auction with the proceeds going 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.

She said: “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.”

Ali also told What’s The Jam: “It’s a beautiful egg.

“I just wish we knew which chicken had laid it.

“Because she won’t ever lay another one.

“Chickens don’t lay round eggs, it’s just one of those weird things.

“We do see odd shaped eggs – some are long – some are tiny – but I’ve never seen a round one.

“I worked out I’d probably have to work there for another 98 years to find another one.”

She added she was taking the egg to the auctioneer on Friday where it was due to be auctioned on March 8.

“I’m terrified,” she added.

“I break eggs every day but I don’t want to break this one.”

Last August, Ed Pownell, from Lambourn, Berkshire, shelled out £150 for a spherical egg discovered by a woman in a box from a supermarket in Ayr, Scotland.
