A small farm in India has suddenly become the talk of the internet after a hen stunned its owner by laying a bright blue egg. The unusual event, described as “one in a million,” has left both villagers and veterinary experts scratching their heads.
Syed Noor, the farmer behind the viral story, had bought the bird two years ago for just ₹20 (Rs. 63.92). Until recently, the hen behaved like any other, laying ordinary white eggs alongside Noor’s other hens. But last week, to his complete surprise, the bird delivered a striking blue-shelled egg.
“I’ve kept chickens all my life, but never imagined this,” Noor said, proudly showing visitors the rare find. He has stored the egg safely and refuses to break it, as locals continue to flock to his home just to see the unusual color with their own eyes.
Veterinary experts say the phenomenon is extremely rare. According to Dr. Ashok, Assistant Director of the Department of Animal Husbandry, some hens may carry traces of a pigment called biliverdin, which occasionally results in unusual shell colors. “We do see slight greenish or tinted shells, but a deep blue egg is almost unheard of here,” he explained.
Another expert, Dr. Raghu Nayak, suggested that genetics, pigment variations, or even small changes in diet could have triggered the event. While blue-shelled eggs are commonly seen in exotic breeds. Like Chile’s Araucana or America’s Whiting True Blue, Noor’s hen is a regular village bird, making the discovery even more remarkable.

Friends and neighbors describe the egg as nothing short of shocking. “We all thought he was joking until we saw it ourselves,” said Hafeez, a close friend of Noor.
