A STRANGE EGG

Our most generous neighbor sometimes has us gather eggs for her. Two days nets us a dozen fresh brown eggs, enough for an entire week and we are grateful.
We recently had that opportunity again. I wash them off before I put them in the refrigerator. I noticed one very unusual egg.

One of these eggs is not like the others. I asked, "Did you notice anything odd about this egg?"

"It was the only white egg in that coop," was the reply.
"It also happens to be hollow," I said.
I examined it more closely, looking for a hole or some clue as to how it came to be an empty egg. I did spot an unusual line on it.
Wait a minute! Oh good grief!
It's plastic! Now there's a mystery. What have those chickens been up to? Hmmm.
