My Rhode Island Red Layed this...

[ChocolateWingTheRooster]

Interesting Fact: it also broke another egg... oof... also, Scarlett is my Rhode Island Red, one of my two pullets at the moment laying eggs. One more thing, it’s exactly 3 and a half inches long

It's likely a double-yolk egg, they're pretty common for a new layer.

@Ninjasquirrel i have no idea, I’ll get a scale in a few minutes... (Also, I think Scarlett knows what she went through...)

Im pretty sure she does. Id definitely remember that. Thats a "uhhh...hey...hunny...come look what I made" moment

What did it weigh? My largest was 3.5 ounces. Poor baby bum...

all I can say is ouch and hopefully she gets the kinks worked out soon

Hey, I do too. (Ouch is EXACTLY what my mom said, wow)

I had one that large from my Plymouth Blue Rock and it was this triple yolk. Her next egg was a double yolk. Made for a full breakfast for the two of us.

Lol, glad im not alone.
Look at this mess, this is four days of eggs.
Obviously ive got some pullets starting but I bet you can spot the egg she lays.
I swear if you put your ear to her bottom you'd hear the ocean.

Hear hear. Call me conservative, but I would feel very blessed if my girls stick to the boring, single yolk, nice strong single shell, normal-type eggs...that fill up "jumbo" egg cartons! Seriously, I prefer big eggs for cooking with, but my hens' health comes first. For now I keep the Jersey Giant's and BC Marans' eggs, which average 60-70 grams, and give away the rest. Can't seem to give them fast enough, and one of my Brahmas just started laying yesterday, bringing my layer count to 6 (out of 14). It's a nice problem to have, really.
