That must have hurt!

"Nothing to worry about there guys! When pullets first lay they can lay double yokers, thin shelled eggs, the hard ones are a good sign of plentiful calcium and a healthy diet. Also bare in mind the smaller pullet eggs have less shell to disperse the calcium, as the eggs become larger the shells will thin slightly."

I found that from a previous thread, hope it helps!

Wow I've only had one of those but it didn't look that wrinkled

We had one this week too. My joke was that it looked like Shaquille O'Neal sitting in an airplane. Then it got stuck and broke. I think it had 3 yolks but they all ran together and it was hard to tell.

Funny! How often do you get a super jumbo egg? What kind of diet are your chickens on? Also the breeds laying the brown eggs..

That was the 1st time we had a super jumbo egg. It was a fun surprise but now the eggs are normal size. The hen was either a RIR, SLW, or Barred Rock but not sure which. Our two Marans hens also laid a couple of pretty big eggs a while back but they were one-offs also. Our hens are in their first laying year and we feed 20% flock raiser with free choice oyster shell.
