What breed will give me GIANT eggs? Any opinions welcome

[Ella2710]

Right now I have a calico princess that lays me an egg twice the size of my rhode red eggs, and she has never missed a day! I'm looking for other breeds that will give me similar results, I want huge eggs! Any ideas/thoughts/opinions welcome.

Emu!

Joking, lol. But in all seriousness, chickens that lay giant eggs tend to have more oviduct issues so be cautious of that. My hens that lay the largest eggs are my Silver Laced Wyandotte and my Blue Birchen Marans. They also lay the least, but I still love them. I'm sure there are other breeds that lay even larger.

In my experience, Red and Black Sex Links were my largest egg layers.

That and Plymouth barred Rocks or easter egger first may be small or no shell

Older hens lay bigger eggs.

ISA Browns are specifically bred to mature quickly, lay around 300 eggs a year initially and lay x-large brown eggs.

Duck eggs are very large. Some people enjoy them. I have never had them though.

White Leghorns can lay some biguns for small chicken

My two white Leghorns from Hoover’s Hatchery never lay anything smaller than x-large and they are usually heavy jumbos. I’ve never had on but the Golden Comets are supposed to lay really big eggs.
