When I went out to feed this morning this is what I found. Egg on the left next to the ruler......WOW that had to hurt! It actually measures 2 3/4" long and 1 3/4" wide. The next egg in sequence is one that I got yesterday. These must be coming from my older girlz. They're so big I can't close the egg cartons! I posted a thread asking about my banty's that I believed had stopped laying about 3 weeks ago but after setting all the different sized eggs together I must assume that the smallest eggs belong to my banty's right? They just seem larger than when I first got them and they were laying what I thought were very tiny tiny eggs. Could they be older than I think they are? The eggs do get bigger from when they start laying right? Thanks!
Probably just wishful thinking on my part ...just want those gals to lay, lay, lay. They can't keep up with my kids!
Having actually given birth I look at that and remember staring at the top of my daughter's head and going, "Wow! No wonder that hurt so bad!"
Lucille, my Cornish X, lays eggs that big on a fairly regular basis - they are almost always double-yolkers. She's a big girl, but even so, I suspect those giant dinosaur eggs make the poor girl's eyes water. We've been giving our extra eggs to the local women's shelter, but we have to keep Lucille's eggs because they won't fit in the egg cartons.
