I've gotten an egg that large from my BSL before, it measured 6 inches in circumference and about 3 inches long.

I've had that happen before it was crazy! It was just a normal size egg but near the pointy end there was a small white sack and when I opened it, it was a fully formed egg with yoke and everything just in miniature form (the whole thing was about the size of a quarter).

Finally an answer. I guess that I have been totally missing out on this thread, don't know how though since I've posted to it before and they usually show up in my posts. Oh well, congratulations on your double yolker.

Has anyone ever hatched twins??

I'd guess two yolks, maybe three. Poor hen, I feel sorry for her; that had to hurt.

Our hens usually lay those large multi-yolkers before they stop laying for the season, and it's the older hens that lay them.

Seems it's rare but does happen. There are threads here somewhere and videos on YouTube (Search "twin chicks" there)

Did I miss it?
I'm guessing two, but can't believe you haven't cracked it open yet!
