Large chicken egg

[Cookiemonster1108]

My chicken has been laying some abnormally large eggs. We do have ducks but this doesn't look like a duck egg. This is the second type of this egg we have found. If you could confirm that this is a duck egg or how to help that would be greatly appreciated.

What kind of ducks do you have?

I think it is an abnormally large chicken egg. I'm curious if it is totally normal when you crack it open.

We have a blue runner and a mallard the last one had two yolks

My chickens will occasionally lay an extra large egg like that. More often when young, but they are 2 years old and I just got one last week that wouldn't fit in the egg carton. Sometimes it is a double yolker, sometimes just extra amount of whites. I also have one chicken that will occasionally lay an extremely l-o-n-g, extra slim egg. When I place it in the egg tray, it tips sideways.

Maybe she is trying to tell me to loose weight ...

Typical double yolker....from a chicken I would guess, tho I have not experience with ducks.
What kind of chickens do you have, how old are they, and how long have they been laying???

Is this a relatively new layer and\or a production breed? I have one like this sitting in my egg box right now and have an entire office of people wondering if it's a triple yolker. We've gotten a few doubles in the past, so I think one of my girls has a propensity for having twins.

One of mine lays a huge one like that sometimes too. I feel bad for her butt. Its usually a double yolk.
