    Really Big Chicken Egg

    This is the biggest chicken egg I have ever seen! Almost 3 inches long, that is duck egg size! The egg wont even fit into the egg carton..LOL!!! From my Americauna no less. No wonder she makes so much noise! Is this pretty normal from the first layings? or will she lay big eggs all the time?
