Wanna see the BIGGEST egg ever? - Updated!

Yowza! And I thought the 3 oz-er I got the other day was ginormous! Poor hen. Wouldn't blame her if she took a day or two off after that one.

Wow! That thing is HUGE! It looks like a goose layed it! Maybe a small ostrich! lol

I get big, bullet shaped eggs from my Turken. I need to weigh them. I can't wait to see what's inside that big boy!!

Alrighty, here it is!! The inside of the egg!! (and a note, I cracked it, not blew it. I wanted a nice perfect looking interior - But I still kept the egg shell(s) )

It was a double yolker. Nope, no triple yolks, no egg-in-an-egg, just a normal double yolker. . . I went around to look for any Marans hen with an abnormal rear, and everyone seems fine. Gosh I hope this isn't the first or second egg the pullet laid.

But I honestly think most of the six ounces came from the shell itself. Of all my huge eggs I've had, most had thin, brittle shells. This one was a tough baby to crack!

Awesome. I'm glad the girls seem to be all right. Thanks for posting the followup picture.

So glad all your girls are all right.

That is one huge egg. Did it have waaaay more white than a normal double? Very freaky.

I came home after being away for 7 days and found about 4 or 5 HUGE eggs in my frig! My DH and DS's have been picking up the eggs and taking care of the girls for me. I weighed the big ones and they were off the the scale! I need to find another scale that goes higher than the one I have.
