Today I Saw The Largest Chicken Egg I Have Ever Seen

[ChickenGirl300]

Today, I checked the nesting box when I went outside with my chickens. I always to that, and I was hoping for two, maybe three eggs. But what I was NOT expecting was one massive goose-sized egg. I have never seen one so large. I've seen a few double yolkers when they were younger, but I'd be surprised if this wasn't a triple. I'm not sure if this came from my BSL or Plymouth Rock, but either way, this is impressive, especially from a 4 1/2 year old hen!

The egg next to a normal RIR egg

The egg next to others in a large size egg carton- Not surprisingly, it wouldn't close!

Poor hen!! That thing is humongous!

What did you find inside? Mine was a double yolker.

I haven’t cracked it yet, but I have to say, if be surprised if it wasn’t

Impressive! You are going to need jumbo sized egg cartons.

 

[Faraz1]

What happens if you try and hatch it ? Will it be an extra large chick ?

Weigh it first.
I'd bet triple yolker or maybe shelled egg inside there
