A emu egg (left) next to a cassowary egg (right). They are some of the largest bird eggs on the planet.

      I’m no Ostrich expert, but I think that egg is defective if it has yet to hatch in 30 years.

      You should get a refund

      Shape and color are very different. I assume that’s just normal for the different species, but this one looks almost like it might be transparent. Is that an arm sticking out of the top? How does the size compare to the green ones? Does it rot, or is it just the shell?

        It’s a solid milky white colour with some large dimples throughout it. Only really transparent with a strong light source.

        It’s the sleeve of my jumper, as for size it’s about 10-15% bigger than en emus from memory, mostly wider than taller.
