Crazy looking!  Wonder if that would have developed into Siamese twins or something?

Happily owned by 7 fluffy butt girls: 1 BO, 3 BA, and 3 Cochins.  Also have 11 hermit crabs, 2 giant african millipedes, a ball python, and a wonderful irish wheaten terrier!  2 awesome boys who love them all!

haha. That's exactly what I was thinking. Did it taste good? I LOVE the huge eggs.
Always feel sorry for the hens who had to squeeeeeeeeze them out though...

At least it was longish rather than just wider!

One question: Is the hen ok?

Four RIR/NHR crosses, five Silkies, one fat little pony, another pony, and a lazy cat. Barnevelders have arrived!

I get one a week from my New Hampshire Red. She lays it, skips a day then is back on track.

I also have NH Reds among others. I get a JUMBO egg every couple days.   clap   Absolutely tips the scale!!   ya   I'm not sure yet which hen is throwing them.    idunno   I wish they'd give me more of them- I could get $5 /dozen for 'em!!   caf   I keep any mini's  & the jumbo's. The rest go to the store.  Presently out of 21 hens, I'm getting on average, 20 eggs daily.    yippiechickie
