HUGE egg!

[rooster-red]

One of my RIR's layed a huge egg this morning.
Agatha proudly announced laying this one.

This pic is actual size, and I don't have small hands.

Ouch!!!

I've had 3 of those so far. 2 browns and 1 blue. Double yolkers of course.

Take another picture when you crack it open!!!

You can't breed double yolkers ya know. Because their yolks aren't that funny...

Way to go Agatha! Keep up the good work! Jeez, I don't know how they do it, but hey, I love eggs.

Congrats rooster-red.

I have gotten a lot of double yolkers.
They are usually the size of a duck egg.
Also I noticed that the blue eggs I get
have a larger and darker yolk. Do you notice that? The yolk in a blue is twice the
size of the yolk in a brown egg.

It might be a double yoke but this hen is 1 1/2 yo and hasn't layed one yet. We do have a white leghorn that half the eggs she lays are double yoke, but they are always longer and no bigger in diameter the a regular egg.
