Freak Size Egg

[MarkRainbolt]

Got this huge egg today. The egg next to it is a large egg. I get one this size every few years. The hen that layed it is a Plymouth White Rock.

Wow, what a whopper! What does it weigh?

I have a chicken that lays a very large double yolk egg a couple times a month. It won't fit into the egg cartons or in our egg holder on the counter.

I have a New Hampshire Red hen, Sandy, that lays that size egg everyday. Now I understand what all the singing is about. That’s probably like giving birth everyday! Haha

I saw a video of how an egg is formed. It starts coming down the pipe pointy end first. But it's laid round end first. So, somewhere along the line, it turns around and at some point,

it's sideways.

Ow. Just... Ow.

These are both from my old rhode island red. She passed away from old age, quite happily sitting in her box.
