I've had some large eggs..

But in my year of chickenkeeping, this one takes the cake! I've never seen a goose egg in person, but I imagine they are probably about this size

The pictures just don't seem to do it justice either, lol!

That looks like the one, one of my hens laid a while back....never did figure out who laid it, but it had to be an ouch!! There's a picture of mine somewhere on here.

Do you know what kind of hen layed it?
I had a buff orp hen lay an egg like that. It was almost scary. I could not close the lid on the egg carton, it was so big.
Everyone bet me that it had to be a triple yoke. Nope! Double yoke.

 

[HobbyChickener]

That has to be at least a double yorker? Did you notice any hen walking a little rough or maybe a little relieved after that one!? Are all the eggs in the back ground a days catch?

 

[BrahmaMama]

Ouch exactly...was wondering if someone was going to need stitches, lol!

I'm not sure...I'm guessing it's one of the white rocks, or a light or buff brahma-leaning towards a Rock though. I've had double yokers that were smaller, so I was wondering if it's a triple too, but I'm betting it's just a huge double

I haven't had the heart to break it yet, lol! I'm going to take a picture with it in the pan by itself when I do though

Hobbychickener, I didn't notice anyone different, surprisingly enough!

Yep, that's a days worth of work for the girls. I'm getting around 15-20 a day, usually 19

 

[Wildsky]

OUCH!

Nope they're bigger than that. But I would like to add: OOOWWWW!​

 

[HobbyChickener]

How many girls? Couple dozen?

 

[BrahmaMama]

Wildsky, lol! I just love that smiley!

Pips&peeps, that's good to hear I don't have to be on the look out for a renegade goose

*though I'd love a pair of Sebastopols to show up unannounced...

Hobbychickener...let's see, I have 10 white Rocks, 6 light Brahmas, 2 buff Brahmas, 2 little buff hens-haven't figured out what they are yet; 1 Speckled Sussex, 5 EE's-though only one is laying, and 4 or 5 golden spangled Hamburgs-my only white egg layers.
