Could this monster hatch?

[retlaw]

150 gram egg in the nest beside the normal 90-ish gram eggs.
That's 5.3 oz for the metric challenged.

Could this monster hatch?

It could, if it were fertile and had the right temperature/humidity.

Mother Nature will have to handle this one.
I have another two more weeks of incubation and I am putting the machine away for the year.
To bad. I would have loved to put it in the incubator.
I guess I should have mentioned they are turkey eggs.

 

[five is my dog]

it could hatch just give it will just take more time than the other eggs

An egg that size is most likely a double yolker (if not a triple). Double yolk eggs are difficult to hatch. Not impossible, but most of them are not successful. I'd rather make myself breakfast with that one

I was thinking the same thing to.
But my tom just died from blackhead so I want to give it a change since it could be the last poults from that tom.

If a poult can hatch from the monster egg would it be a monster poult also, compared to the rest?
And if it survived would it be the biggest bird at maturity?

July 10 th
A hen starting sitting on the nest today.
The egg is only a few days old.
There is a small chance for the monster.

That's what our turkey eggs look like size wise..... Honestly I thought the others were chicken eggs and you somehow got a turkey egg and didnt realize...
Could you compare to a chicken egg real quick while the hen is off the nest? I may just be getting a bad view,,course only if you want to!
Hope it hatches!

I will try.
A normal chicken egg weighs in at around 65 grams.
My turkey eggs on average are in the 90 gram range.
Only a few make it over 100 grams.

Also had a perfectly round egg this year from my turkey's.

Looks like I have two hens fighting to see who gets to sit on the monsters nest.
This morning they were going at it hard. They both have eggs in that nest and the other doesn't want to be left out.
If the tom was still alive you know he would not allow this type of behavior.
