Rare One-in-a-Billion Egg Discovered in Devon

Ali Greene, an egg processor at Fenton Farm Eggs in Devon, discovered a rare spherical egg with odds of being found at 'one in a billion' during her shift on December 17. She plans to auction the unique egg on March 18 in Exeter, hoping to raise £200 for the Devon Rape Crisis charity. Greene expressed her surprise at the find, noting that the farm processes around 14 million eggs annually and this was the first round egg ever discovered there. Inspired by a radio discussion about the rarity of such eggs, she has joked about the low likelihood of finding another in her career. Auctioneer Brian Goodison-Blanks mentioned that similar spherical eggs have previously sold for up to £200, indicating potential interest in Greene's find. Greene is taking precautions to preserve the egg, wrapping it in rock salt, and admits to being terrified of dropping it before the auction.
