The chicken and the ring
7 Answers
Now here's a strange story that the teller swears is true!
Years ago, when he was little, his grandma kept chickens in the orchard. She also used to hang her washing out in the orchard. One day, whilst pegging out the washing, she lost her wedding ring. Everyone searched and searched but it was never found.
THREE YEARS later, whilst baking a cake, she cracked an egg and THERE, inside the egg, was a ring, all covered in verdigris. She cleaned it up and, sure enough, there were her initials inside the ring.
POSSIBLE OR NOT????

If the ring got into the egg, it must have laid in the orchard for 3 years before being eaten by the chicken, But is it scientifically possible for it to get from the chicken's stomach into the egg? I DON'T think so!!
Totally agree that this couldn't happen, its anatomically impossible.
However, just wanted to comment on what wildwood said about having a big gape, I gave my chickens a few large grapes the other day, usually I halve them, but this time I didn't, and to my horror they necked them back whole, had visions of performing the Heimlich manouvre on 5 choking chickens!
So I guess it is possible that a chicken could swallow a ring!
