Man astonished by fried egg resembling a chicken

Simon Steer, from Culmstock in Devon couldn’t believe it when he cracked open an egg into a frying pan and it formed the perfect shape of a chicken. With the yolk orchestrating the hen’s head and feathered chest, the white of the egg formed the rest of the bird’s body - including a tail, a delicate leg and a claw.



Calling over partner Rosie and daughter Devin, the trio were astonished at the freakish depiction of a hen in the pan. The family keep hens and often have eggs for breakfast. “We breed hens,” Simon said. “So breakfast is usually eggs and bacon with a cup of tea.”

He said the morning started like any other, with him making something to eat before driving to work. “I was just making breakfast, I went to break my egg into the pan and lo and behold the chicken formation happened,” he said, “I said, come have a look at this, by which point everyone rushed over and we were in fits of laughter, it was very amusing.”



While Simon doesn’t believe in chicken miracles or messages from beyond hen headstones, he said it was a crazy occurrence. “It was just bizarre and one of those odd things that happens,” he said. “When people see a picture of Christ in a loaf of bread that seems odd and now there is a hen appearing in a pan, I don’t think it’s biblical though,” he added.
