So yesterday my chicken laid a giant egg. Look at this thing, just thought i should share it.

the lid doesn't close right.

I recently had a super-large egg from one of my hens. Turned out to be a double-yolk. What was yours?

Congrats!

I'll say there might be 2 LARGE yolks in that monster! I just had one just about the same size, and measured almost 1/2 cup when i measured in a mesuring cup!

If you want to preserve the shell, you can try the old trick, tiny holes on both ends of the egg, blow the contents out and make scrambled eggs with it or use it in a recipe. Then you can save your big egg forever for bragging rights.

You can also do as babalu said and decorate the eggs. Here are some I made into ornaments:

I was eager to see your big egg... but then I saw my dish drainer in your photo! I WONDERED WHERE IT'D GONE! Hey - that's my faucet and window too... wait a sec... is that my husband and son on the fridge?

Well, take care of all "my" stuff... heh heh.
