Pullet Eggs - Wish she'd stop doing this.

[Fred's Hens]

Have gotten far too many of these from the pullets called Golden Buffs (production reds) by Meyer. Haven't had one over a week, until today.
Ugh!!!! Believe it or not, this was not the largest.

Nuthin wrong with that, Fred! I`m envious, LOL..........Pop

Wow. I have never had one at all. One double yolker last year out of 15 hens. I think it is Omelet Time! I'd like mine with bacon, cheese, onions, peppers and mushrooms please. Thanks.

Actually, I kinda hate to see it. It does hurt them laying these large ones. Most of the hens plop their eggs quickly and without a peep, but when one of these comes, I can often tell. They stay in the box too long and you will hear whimpering and groaning. I don't like it, but there's little one can do.

Usually doubles, but the occasional triple.

WOW! '

' I thought I'd had a few big eggs (close to 3 oz.) but that one is ENORMOUS! Is the poor hen still able to walk?

Aww, poor girl...those have to hurt! Wow, I think that's the biggest chicken egg I've ever seen.

Exactly right. It ain't good for the hens, but there's not much you can do for it.​

It will stop in the 3rd month of laying. I know it was'nt easy for them to lay but always was eggcited to get 100 gram double yolkers. I had two pullets give doubles on a regular basis. Used them for sunny side up, perfectly covered the toast.
