Well we had our very first HUGE egg this week, presumed double yolker. Our Red Star who has now laid an egg 49/50 days since her very first egg 
somehow managed to squeeze this egg out. I am not entirely sure how she did it as small as she is compared to others in the flock.
Here is the egg next to a store bought egg and one of our smaller eggs, and no that carton absolutely cannot close.
Here is a picture next to the X-large egg she normally lays:
Here is our now favorite hen the Red Star, front and center:

I know the heritage breeds are pretty but it's my sex links that produce consistently, always have BIG eggs and can charm the dickens out of me as easily as some of my fancier birds.
