    Abnormally large eggs

    I have a "mutt" chicken has been laying large eggs. Slightly larger than jumbo. I just went out to gather the day's offerings and found an egg that measures 3.5" long and 7" around. Has anyone had a girl lay eggs this big? Do I need to be concerned about her? I hurt just looking at this egg!

    Naked White Leghorns

    Both my white leg horns are completely naked on their underside. There are no other symptoms...they eat, they drink, they lay and they get along really well with their rommies. I do not have a roo and they like laying(dusting)their naked selves in the diatamaceous(spelling?) earth I use under...
