I got my first large egg today!

I have 12 RIR pullets and so far the most eggs I've gotten in a day is 5 (butt check that morning revealed 4 layers, so a new one must have laid their first egg yesterday afternoon).

And today I got my first large egg (2.0 oz)!!! Sorry if it sounds dumb, but I've only gotten 1.3-1.6 oz eggs so far so I'm stoked! PS- any idea if this is a double-yolker? It's a bit skinnier but 1/3" longer than the storebought ones.

Congratulations, that's a nice sized egg!

Guess you could always crack it open to see if it's a double. (I can't guess.)

Yeah but then I'd have to cook it and I'm not hungry at the moment I tried candling it but didn't see the yolks. No blood spots though

And yeah, especially since they're 22 weeks 4 days old

I'm not hungry though Can I put the cracked egg contents in a sealed tupperware in the fridge for use in the morning?

Congrats!! That's a nice egg. You'll have to keep us posted as to it's possible double-yoker status
