Where did THAT come from?

[dwpanxt]

Digging up a container of potatoes DH came across a very regular potato. Brushing the soil off he found that it wasnt a potato at all.

It was...................an EGG.

WTF?

Unbroken and normal hens egg. No-one has hens near us that we can tell. We don't have little children prone to hiding stuff.

Any ideas about how and by what method it arrived in a tallish container full of compost.

dinosaur egg!!

wow how weird. Do you have chickens?

Nope - no chickens or dinosaurs

DO you put eggshells in your compost? Any chance one of you was having a dippy moment and lobbed in a whole egg by mistake?

OR - you have one of those large reptiles (I want to say Salamander, but bigger) that carry eggs around in their mouths and bury them nearby (I'm basing this solely on a Disney film).

LOL -we may be dippy but even we wouldn't throw a whole egg out.

We do have lots of Foxes and squirrels that come into the garden and we often find whole peanut shells under the soil.I can understand that. But do foxes or squirrels eat eggs? Where do they get them in the first place -I haven't heard any chickeny sounds and it is very quiet in this area.And why bury them?
