The most MASSIVE egg ever layed...

[meetthebubus]

Ow.

Did you open it? I'm half expecting it to be a triple-yolker!

That would be awesome, I will open it and take pics, probably a video too see it being opened and all that....

I occasionally get monster eggs. Some are double yolks. Some are a single yolk with a large amount of white. Never had an egg in an egg yet. Open it and see.

The boring truth it was just a large yolk and lots of eggwhite

So it truly was a huge massive egg! Not a double Yorker or double egg but an honest huge egg. Nothing boring about that!

I had a double yoke last year that was bigger than our duck's eggs. It was so big i had to fold it over twice to fit on a piece of bread for a fried egg sandwich.

...by one of my hens, Easter egger, normally they lay small to medium sizes

The other day I look up to see Brownie crouching amongst everyone making funny noises. I examine her and see the lips of the vent turning inside out like a pouting lip and her noises are strained pushes, a gloved examine has confirmed an egg bound hen.

After a warm soak, I spray the vetericyne gel there and leave her be, a couple hours later I'm back to repeat the soak but this examine shows a normal vent.

I look around the run and find this.....

No wonder this poor girl was suffering... just thankful it all turned ok

That is HUGE! I'm really glad it turned out OK.

We would still like a pic of the large yolk and egg white haha

I think I will crack my large egg tomorrow. But I’ll weigh it first and share. I never thought about weighing it.

Sounds like you need bigger bread

not even in the kitchen? has the trend for recipe measures in cups and spoons done away with them?

In the US, yes. I'm 50 and don't recall ever having a kitchen scale growing up. Everything was measure cups and spoons. My ex MIL never even used those. She had a teacup she used for flour and corn meal, used tea and soup spoons for small measures, and guessed the rest.

well you'll have to settle for just guessing whether it was the most massive egg ever laid then ! The largest any of my chooks has laid is 99 g (3.5 ozs), and it was a double yolker.
