Weird!! All my Brahmas have laid medium to large eggs.
If your Brahma is a pullet and just now laying age that is frightening if that is hers!!

Jeez! Post pictures when you crack it open! That must’ve hurt when it came out

Those are my biggest hens, so I can’t imagine that think popping out of a poor bantam hen’s butt!

you could of put the ruler with the egg. Would of made more sense.

Have you cracked it open yet? I'm interested to see what it looks like inside.

In the meantime, how old is the Brahma? Is this the first time she's laid an egg like this? When was her last molt (or is she going into one due to this weird weather we've been having)?

But if someone ever ask "how big are @Shabby Chic-Hens hands?"
We'll all know....

That poor hen!

But I second the request for pics when you crack it open!

What other kinds of chickens do you have? I've noticed the biggest eggs seem to come from middle-sized chickens. People have focused on breeding some hens to lay larger and larger eggs (like Leghorns and Red Sexlinks). For the biggest chicken breeds, the focus seems to be on breeding a big chicken, with much less emphasis on egg size.

But in this specific case, I think it is probably a double-yolk egg (or maybe a triple yolk or something of the sort.) That would be a glitch that can happen on occasion with any chicken, and not a good indicator of what size egg is normal for the one who laid it.
