Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 June 1894 — A Siamese-Twins Egg. [ARTICLE]

A Siamese-Twins Egg.

Oil City Derrick. The residents of the Fourth ward are bragging of the achievements of a hen, owned in that vicinity, that on Saturday delivered itself of a regular Siamese twin egg. The freak consists of two eggs, one of average size and the other about the size of a pigeon egg joined by a membranelike tube an eighth of an inch long. The eggs are without the usual shell and instead are covered with a sort of parchment similar to that covering a turtle egg.
