monster egg

[Chickiemama1010]

One of my girls has been laying weird eggs lately. They have been huge and bumpy. Today I got an absolute monster. I don't know who's egg this is, but the girls all look ok from behind, lol.

Taken next to a reg. sized egg to compare

My girls' eggs usually go between 2.5-2.9 oz
this big one weighed in at 4.67 oz.

OUCH

Hey, I think I can see the Virgin Mary in that egg shell. You had better list it on Ebay.

Might want to check into this....these types of eggs are sometimes associated with illness:

Not trying to be a wet blanket, just thought I'd mention it.

i had one of my hens lay a egg larger than a duck egg, then 3 weeks later another one just as big but it didn't have a shell. when i broke th skin there was an egg inside it.
