Our First Egg Brought A Surprise!!

[LilBizzy]

The very first egg laid by my 18 week old RSL looked BIG , especially for a first egg. So DH cooked breakfast this morning and look at the egg in the middle!! TWINS LOL

Also, Bird Hearder was very excited today because he FINALLY found an egg!! Remember, I do NOT like chickens

, but I have been finding them the past 5 days..

You won't find that in a store-bought egg.

Congrats, that is a great lookin set of twins. Can't wait for my first egg. My RSL's are 14 weeks old so maybe soon.

The egg in the upper right is a store bought to compare yoke color.
Yeah, I finally got to find an egg from MY Ladies.

It sure was a Great Breakfast!!

Just wondering...if it would have been fertilized, etc., do you think twins would actually hatch or is there not enough room in the egg?

WOW NEATTO!!!!

Quote:
IF by chance they were to develope, they would never be able to hatch out, for a chick needs its legs to move around the egg and zip and in the meantime the veins in the egg would be draining into the chick at the last minute.

My first two eggs were double-yolkers, and since then- none.

Congrats on your eggs

My cornish cross has been laying regularly, every day or every other day. Last week she went two days without laying, and then the next egg was humongous! Like yours, it was a beautiful double-yolker. Yum!
