OMG!! FORGIVE HER FOR NOT LAYING THIS WEEK. One of our Australorp pullets had a big (145g) surprise

Yep, fully formed egg inside. Only 9 months old. She's gone a bit broody after that, but cutting her a bit of slack because of this. (after all OUCHIE!!!). Australorps from Table Top Australorps NSW, Australia. Beuatiful, beautiful ladies.- lmbb
