Massive egg from our White Plymouth Rock

[hondo58]

This egg was laid today by one of our two White Plymouth Rock hens. It is truly HUGE!

The egg on the left is a Jumbo egg in a carton for Jumbo eggs. The lid won't even close because of the massive egg on the right. It feels like a hand grenade when you pick it up.

Is it possible that it's one of the egg-within-an-egg oddities? I've been fascinated with those since I saw a few videos on Youtube.

I've never heard of that but surely will look it up! I'll definitely video it when I crack it open just in case.

Do you know if there is any way to tell before you crack it open?

Have you opened it yet? Amazing that they can lay an egg that size.

Here are some more photos with size measurements. I can't believe that hen was able to pass this thing.
