    Extra large jumbo eggs

    Our average egg was 2.2 ounces, then our Cornish cross chickens started laying 2.7 ounce, massive (we thought) eggs. One laid a double, and it's 3.8 ounces, almost 108 grams. It doesn't fit in an egg carton (the 2.7 ouncers fit but you can't close the lid).

She has saved our rooster Fancy Face from a dog by barking, but is otherwise a sissy and stays behind me when I go out...

    Does Egg Laying 'rub off' on younger hens

    We have several generations or tribes like most of you might. While our sole egg-layer (at the time) Maybell was busy with her 1st brood, our RIR Rosemary, who we bought at the store 24 weeks earlier decided to lay. I thought this was average to late age but chalked it up to her surviving a...

    Thanks, I like your perspective. It will definitely be a learning experience and will do the best we can.
