Rare Round Egg Auctioned for $550 to Support Charity
The 'one-in-a-billion' egg, discovered at Fenton Farm in Devon, was sold to benefit the Devon Rape Crisis organization.
- The nearly perfectly round egg was discovered by Alison Greene, an egg handler at Fenton Farm, in December 2024.
- Described as 'one-in-a-billion,' the egg was preserved in salt to prevent spoilage ahead of the auction.
- The auction, held on March 18, 2025, at Bearnes Hampton Littlewood Auctioneers in Exeter, raised £420 (approximately $550).
- All proceeds were donated to the Devon Rape Crisis charity, which supports survivors of sexual violence and abuse.
- Greene expressed gratitude to the bidders, likening the auction's excitement to watching her child in a sports race.
