Bet that hurt!

I don't know "who" laid them...but they came out of my Tibetan pen. I don't have any jumbos, but with all the mix breeding...maybe some jumbo blood. for sure though it wasn't a white.

The largest of the four eggs was a just a little smaller than the OEGB eggs we get around here. (but just)

Speaking of OEGB..here is a pic of 10 of my Crele in the brooder now:

There is a funny story to go along with all the different ages in there...the premise or moral is this: a broody hen shouldn't leave her nest to eat...other hens will lay in her clutch, hence after the first three, one hatched every other day until finally the smallest that you see on the right came out.

My DW is making corn bread muffins tonight for supper...and decided to use the monster quail egg in the batter. It was a double yolker (on right) next to a medium sized chicken egg (on left) for comparison:
