Check out my monster egg!

Can you tell which one it is?

Here it is next to a jumbo egg.
It weighed it a a whopping 3 ounces...and yes, it was a double-yolker. Mmm:

You fed how many people with that egg???

 

[miss_thenorth]

I get some like that sometimes.... all I can say is OUCH!!!

We have a couple birds kicking out triple yolkers that are about that big. My wife keeps them all for herself and snarfs down her 'one' fried egg every morning. They won't fit in the cartons to sell anyhow. She gets very upset when she doesn't have at least a double yolker for breakfast now. The small things in life you come to expect living on a farm!

Nothing special, just a commercial certified vegetarian layer ration.

What I can figure out is how I can pass the gene to offspring. Double yolkers are not viable afaik, so do I have to determine which bird is laying them, then take every egg from her and candle (in hopes of a 'rare' single yolker)?

I can just imagine a flock kicking out dozens of eggs like that a day. I'd be locally famous!
