Pekin Egg! Twice as big as normal?

[Pamelasflock]

Lola, my Pekin, was adopted late spring. She had been dumped in a retention pond and was found hurt. She is fully recovered and the joy of the barnyard! They think she’s bw 1 and 2 years but not exact. On my birthday mid August I found her two first eggs. Ever since she has laid one s day and they are really nice size. Today I found this whopper. Wow. The smaller one is the consistent size of her other eggs. I am amazed how large this is. Plus, she ALWAYS lays her eggs in her house. Today she dropped it in a little nest she dug out in her leisure shade area by her food. I have 2 khakis that are 20 weeks old, Wanda And Maryann, and I don’t think there is any possibility this is one of their first eggs. I’m wondering when they will start laying. Love these girls!

Very likely she has rewarded you with a double yolk egg.

I baked with some , brownies, spoon cornbread and yeast rolls…, wow! Lola is quite the addition to our family. She rewards us with her antics and gained trust. Omgosh she is so cute. And she laid me a golden egg! Lol

Oh my goodness!!! I wonder what’s inside? Sometimes I know there is a whole other shell and egg inside.

Our pekins regularly laid large eggs with double yolks a year ago when they first started laying. They settled down to regular sized eggs after about 3 months. Then just last week I made quiche with duck eggs and one of the eggs was regular size but had a double yolk!
