Monster egg!

[kidd42]

I go out to collect eggs yesterday evening, I have a Dominique that has gone broody on me. I open the egg door and see that the cochins have laid egg's there, the Dominique is usually sitting on all the eggs but I notice that she is sitting out in front of the egg boxes. I reach under her and feel this huge egg. Pull it out from under her and it's this monster egg. Took it in and weighed it in at 3.1 oz. I have since told her she could have the rest of the week off. Poor girl!

I got one 2 days ago! Bet its a double yolk. Mine is twice the size of all the other ones.

A few weeks back, there was an Austrolorp hen who laid a 4.1 oz egg! Ouch!

Give that hen a raise!

She needs to be fanned and fed peeled grapes!

how long had she been broody? she might have been egg bound, and it may be that another egg came while she was still bound and they merged

Last month I had one of my sexlinks lay this egg is was 4.6 ounces and I told her she could take a few days off but she didn't listen she followed it up the next day with a 2.9 ounce egg.
