Enormous Egg Found In West Virginia Woods
Folks in Clendinin are puzzled by the discovery of an egg weighing 4.5 pounds and about 18 inches in diameter. While hunting this week, Sherman Farley found the mystery egg about three miles from the Benedict Haid Farm, but the owner, Bill Pepper, who suspects it may be an ostrich egg, says none of his seven ostriches have been missing. State naturalist Jim Phillips says there's no animal native to West Virginia that lays eggs that big, and, while Farley would like to crack the mystery, he says he plans to keep it as a souvenir.
