Woman finds ‘one in a billion’ perfectly round egg

Jo Willis, a 49-year-old from Bentley, Suffolk, found a perfectly round chicken egg and placed it in her fridge in 2025.
The egg's rarity, described as 'one in a billion,' inspired her to auction it to support a fundraiser established after recent family and friend cancer deaths.
Willis boiled the two-inch diameter egg, noticed its unusual shape, and said, "I thought: 'Blimey, what is that?'" before recognizing its uniqueness.
The auction is part of the "close to home" initiative launched in April, intended to raise money for charities supporting cancer, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer's causes, with hopes that the egg will fetch about £400.
This effort reflects Willis's intention to transform personal loss into positive action, following the deaths of her aunt, son, and husband's friend from cancer.
