The Largest Egg - Contest!

I need to get me some of those!

Coincidentally I was looking at some production reds right now because I have a PR rooster. Hmm. Now I’m definitely gonna get some. (Minus the Hyline part but maybe I’ll look into those instead )

Mine was a 99.2g from a BSL . Pictured below next to one of the ordinary punny 70g ones

Well, I might have considered making separate categories (e.g. duck, goose, etc.) but there just aren't enough people. Also, I don't know how 'special' a congratulations from me is, considering that I'm a nobody on here and the number of entries is tiny.

I think everyone mostly knows the size each bird egg should be and all eggs should be included. It makes things more interesting. All my monster chicken eggs were laid last year so I don't have those i might have pics though I'll go look

Here are big eggs from my olive egger. She passed away last year though

I don't have a scale yet, but here's a couple pictures.
First ones are the pink eggs my EE hen lays.

Second is one my RIR mix laid yesterday. It's on the one on the far left. The fat ones are from my EE, & the egg on the far right is a regular large egg from a barred rock mix.

I don’t actually recommend them, they are prone to reproductive problems, die quite young, and I’ve had to deal with one very nasty prolapse that took a week to heal (stuffing the insides back inside and holding them there for 1/2hr at a time, multiple times a day) all of those girls are my rescues. And the mamas to my main laying flock, of olive eggers. If you’re just in it for massive numbers of eggs, and willing to cull and replace your birds every 2 years they are great from a business standpoint, but that’s not what I’m aiming for in my flock. I want a more sustainable one, not just a small scale commercial type egg operation. Or if you want to work with some rescues and provide them loving care and a chance at a decent life, for what they have left, they are nice birds andncan have wonderful personalities. My “normal” eggs for comparison

You guys have some monster eggs but I've got one that will take the crown sitting in a nest right now! I will get a pic of it if I can get past the security guards

Thanks! My blue layers and Marans are going to be coming back into lay soon to complete my rainbow, the Marans aren’t super dark though. And I’ve decided I need to get some white layers for contrast!
