Pill shaped double

[Brantford]

Thought I would share this here as well. I have a barred rock that occasionally lays pill shaped eggs. Double yolk, but whites as well. This is the 4th one like this she has layed. Anyway, thought it was cool to share.

Cool. I've had a few single-yolkers shaped like carrots, but that definitely beats them. Does she have any trouble laying?

Wow. I've had ones almost twice as long as normal but shaped more like a double pointed bullet. Never had one shaped like that.

No problem at all. I have a video of cracking it open into a bowl, just cant upload it. She lays daily. Just started laying in November and is doing great. She is a little crazy I think though... aha

Wow! How strange! Do keep an eye on that bird for future health problems. Might be more prone to egg binding and prolapse. But very interesting to see!

I've had a few odd eggs over the years. Here is my largest egg.
this was my tiniest egg next to a regular large egg. For awhile I was getting a few fart eggs.

This was my largest at 182 grams/ 6.42 ounces.

Ahhhh! That's the type of egg you want a c-section for! Holy cow! D: T_T

It's literally the size and shape of a dinosaur egg!

There is an older thread where a member successfully hatched twins.
