Colorado Gators Reptile Rescue and Education center is selling massive green eggs said to be large enough to make an omelet comparable to those consisting of a dozen chicken eggs – and no, the eggs aren’t from alligators.

According to a Facebook post that was published on February 10, the spot has an “abundance” of emu eggs, thus they’re selling them to the public. The cost of each egg is $20 and the eggs can be picked up at the gator farm located at 9162 Lane 9 N Mosca, Colorado – in the heart of the San Luis Valley.

Emu eggs can weigh more than a pound, and it’s said that their taste is hard to distinguish from the much more common chicken eggs that are consumed by the millions in America on a daily basis. One key reason emu eggs aren’t nearly as popular is due to their cost, which tends to be higher than the same weight in chicken eggs. Additionally, cracking open an emu egg means cooking a larger quantity of product in one sitting.

According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, emus are considered to be a domestic animal in Colorado. This means you don’t need a license from the agency to own one, though local laws related to ownership may still apply.
