Monster egg!

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 

Opened the hatch to find this incredible thing.  Clearly, one of my hens deserves a raise!

...any suggestions on what to do with this thing?

1. Crack it into a bowl.

2. take a picture, post it on BYC

3. Fry it, or do whatever you do with your eggs. 

4. Eat.

what a nice surprise. I had a RIR about 8 years ago and she would consistently lay an egg that was HUGE! The largest one she ever laid was measured with a sewing tape. Circumference around the middle was a whopping 7 1/4 inches. Felt sorry for the girl.

 

 I put it on ebay and advertised it as "worlds largest chicken egg".

 

Unfortunately no one thought it was as interesting as me at the time. HAD.gif

 

Is there such a thing as a triple yolker?

 

Thanks for sharing Gamble. That is awesome
