    I knew she would lay today, she kept hopping up into the nest box. I've been waiting on my Partridge Rock all this month! Left home, hurried to the coop to see what I expected to be a small little first time pullet egg... Wow, was I surprised..
    Ask me if I'm excited after taking all these pictures. [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Who guesses it's a double yolker, or just one huge yolk?
    [​IMG] That's my leghorn's egg, it's a pretty good sized egg itself.
    Ok, it..was a double yolk. Ha, tomorrow may be a small egg. Who knows. Sure would be nice if she laid them like this all the time. I can't believe I am saying this, but hoping they don't get any bigger, even though she is big. [​IMG]
    I made myself lunch with them, on toast.. [​IMG]

    Wow that is awesome! Congrats to you and your hen for laying such a huge egg on her first time. Make sure she didn't cause any damage to her rear end. [​IMG]

    Quote:Now is a Partridge Rock related to the Barred Rock. I have 6 BR hens and love them and we got a white Rock this summer to put under a broody hen and she is huge herself. Wonder if I have one like you do. She is definitely my biggest chicken even over my almost 3 year olds. lol

    She may be fine but just check to make sure, would hate for something to happen to her.

    Do you happen to have a picture of your hen? Maybe I have the same breed. [​IMG]

    Looks like there were a few others having a problem with uploading? I see that my other picture finally did. I've been trying off and on all day to get BYC to work, just after I posted the first two...hmmm?

    I do believe that the Rocks are related..just the difference in color? Like, Barred, Plymouth, white. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Will try and post of a picture of my girl from last month. She is even bigger now!
    Here she is, I hope it works... [​IMG]

    She is beautiful. I just picked up my white rock and I swear she is bigger than just a few weeks ago. I mean huge. my biggest girl for sure, probably bigger than most of my roosters. lol

    Your rock has markings like some of my EEs have on their feathers. I may have to look into some of the Partridge. [​IMG]
