So about every other week so far one of my girls is laying these huge eggs!! I have yet to crack one open but what do you guys think??  I uploaded the picture to my profile as it wont let me upload it on here. I can barely close the egg carton with these eggs!

I know, I am always amazed when I find these! I have two so far as my girls starting laying recently so far it has happened every other week and only one egg at a time.

we get them every once in a while... what amazes me is that the hen can walk straight after laying something that size.  Most likely a double yolker or one with a very large single yolk.
