Lucky the pet chicken is a former battery hen which was rescued by Lauren Mayes and her son Toby in September last year.

She was just a day old when they took her back to their home in Corpusty but has since grown into tame -and very heavy hen.

Earlier this month, Toby, who is in year three at Corpusty Primary School, was shocked to discover Lucky - living up to her name - had laid an egg with a triple yolk.

Ms Mayes said: 'Toby loves wildlife and is always doing something involving animals. He has 15 pet chickens and a baby horsefield tortoise.'

You're more than twice as likely to become a millionaire playing the national lottery then to stumble across a triple-yolk egg.
