Welcome to Backyard Chickens! We are glad you joined the flock! :welcomeBYC is a helpful site providing all of the information you need to know about poultry. There is always space for members on the BYC roost!
:highfive: I will agree that 80g is a massive size egg. Do you have older hens? Generally, Red Sex Links and Rhode Island reds eggs size will increase rapidly once they begin approaching 2 years of age. This often leads to egg bound problems or problems with the oviduct.

Hope you enjoy it here as much as we all do!

My chickens are only 33 weeks old. I was getting alot of double yolk eggs and did learn that when they are young they do tend to make more double yolk eggs but that has slowed down to only on occasion... Untill this one. And hope there are not any more..must of hurt...poor girl...

Wow you are doing great with your chickens in such cold weather! I freak out when our temps drop to mid 20s F. I know I'm soft, but I just love my moderate climate. Congrats on such wonderful eggs and best wishes for your continued success!
