What big hands you have!

Are they made to handle laying eggs like that? Oh my!

I am not even sure which hen is laying these giant eggs. It may be a barred rock or a Sapphire gem. I think all the others in that coop lay dark brown eggs. I have 2 barred rocks and 2 Sapphire gems in that coop.

That’s a Canadian Quarter, the same size as American

@Kris5902 — That is one large egg!! The one in your hand with a bunch of others. Unless it just looks larger. But wow!

I just cracked my most recent small egg into the brownie batter tonight. It was a little bigger than a regular size marble! I did not think to weigh it. Now I wish I had.
I've had a couple of eggs that were over 100 grams too, but I don't think I have pictures of them. It's weird how they can come out so huge or so tiny!!

It is my largest so far, my scale was broken at the time, and I just took a picture of it out in the field. Well over 100g though certainly.

My tiny ones came from my Red Ranger hen “big Red” I lost her this summer. The Giants all come from Production Red Hylines.
