Jumbo Egg...

[Jen4]

From a hen that hasnt laid an egg in alittle over 3 months, guess her body has to get back into the groove.

3 1/2 inches from end to end & 6 inches round

Heres what I found when I cracked it open this mornin

HOLY COW. THAT'S ONE HUGE EGG. Not even the double yolkers we find in store bought eggs are that huge!

 

[Mahonri]

Is the egg "white" BLOODY????!!

 

[BeccaB00]

I'm wondering the same thing Mahonri...

 

[ZombieChickens]

Whoa. That's a little bit grody. Awesome egg though. Probably should have blown it out and kept the shell.

Thanks Everyone...

Mahonri: Yes the whole white part was bloody and had a huge meat spot in it... I guess cause she hasnt laid an egg in over 3 months?

ZombieChickens: That would have been a good idea but I was hoping to eat it this mornin... I threw it out.

Hi,
What breed is the hen? My CornishX would lay a double yolk-er every once in a while.
