    I have a RIR that hatched this March. When she started laying, she layed double-yokers almost every day for about 6 weeks. Now she lays lots of double-yokers, but also plenty of single ones. However, a few weeks ago she took 3 days off. When I went out to check the nesting boxes I found this HUGE egg. I had to post the pics just because I can't hardly believe my eyes. To give you a little perspective, the white eggs to the left in the picture were bought from the grocery store & are graded as extra large eggs. I did read in my local Intermountain Farmer's Association store though that the record is 9 yokes in one egg. Now that would be something to write home about.

    I Love how that egg is in the carton and into the frying pan. Looks yummy, what were you making?! ok ok, I know "eggs, of course!".

    Just wondering, but do you find a difference in how home grown eggs fry up vs. store bought? We tested our eggs vs. store bought eggs and discovered that in our non-stick frying pan our egg stuck to the pan, while the store bought egg slid all over the place and was quite easy to flip. Anyone else find this?
