    Blue slate sexing?

    What is the biggest egg your hens have laid?

    Thats awesome! That shell is definately something to keep. Why didnt I think of that... I hope my year and a half old australorp lays like that in the future. I havent weighed any of my eggs but i think hers are a little on the medium side right now but usually at least 6 days a week.
