Instead of passing out of the hen’s body and being incubated outside, the egg was incubated in the hen for 21 days and then hatched, according to a report on the BBC’s website. cenforce

The chick is fully formed and healthy, although the mother has died.

The government veterinary officer in the area said he had never seen anything like it before.

P.R. Yapa, the chief veterinary officer of Welimada, where the incident took place, examined the hen’s carcass.

He found that the fertilised egg had developed within the hen’s reproductive system, but stayed inside the hen’s body until it
hatched.

A post-mortem conducted on the hen’s body concluded that it died of internal wounds.
