Unusually Large Egg - Surprise! 1 in 25 million!

I am always impressed by doubles but triples??? That’s awesome!

When I saw the topic title, and then the picture, I thought about a goose or duck sneaking in to just lay one egg amongst your hens' eggs and then mysteriously disappearing into the night.

Similar odds maybe? lol! A triple yolker though, wow! Super cool.

She looks like Legs, my Leghorn hen.

Yea that’s what I thought too.

Wow! Congratulations!

I’ve seen some huge eggs and gotten lots and lots of double yolk or‘s but that’s pretty amazing! I’ve been wondering for a while if there is such thing as a triple yolk. Guess that answers my question. But you can’t help thinking when you look at it “poor chicken”. Ouch!
Hope you enjoyed! I think that’s a sign you have a happy chicken

I think the record is 9!!!!

Thanks! The odds of goose or duck sneaking in zero because of 2 reasons
1. No duck or goose around here.
2. I happened to be there when the hen came out proudly proclaiming the feat.

I think the record is 9!!!!

Yup, I was reading about it in byc too

Poor hen!!!

Indeed! The thread above doesn't say if the hen survived the ordeal!

I wonder if the hen breed is available anywhere in America… she’s so pretty! I searched but all I could find was sellers in India.
