Hi readers! I wrote this teaser but I couldn't remember my password for the username 'Bekki!' embarrassing or what?!! anyway, thanks for your comments on it
Hello everyone! my password sprung to me yesterday so Bekki is back!!!
well there are two possibilities that it could be true that the peacock layed an egg.
1. You said it layed an egg, this is a story, make-believe, obtusely, he could have.
2. he picked up an egg and put it there.

I said its the peacocks egg!
Nice to know, a little fun fact about peacocks I didn't know.
You said the peacock laid the egg. It's part of the setup, thus it must be true.
Hrsemn4 and something, you guys are taking it too seriously

Technically, the question is an if... in that case, it assuming that the peacock CAN lay the egg. in that case it is the peacock's egg.

There are so many of these "This impossible occurrence happened, answer some trivial question about occurrence. Answer: occurrence is impossible, so it didn't happen."
Why do people find them entertaining? Your question said that the impossible thing happened. It's not the solver's problem to explain how an impossible thing happened -- perhaps the question is talking about a fantasy land. But you said it happened, so who are we to contradict it?
