What happened? Huge egg and blood

[notsooldmcdonald]

Did you write that she was new to laying? Can't recall, sorry, but maybe you've gotten an egg-within-an-egg. I got one the first week mine began laying and it was unbelievably huge.

As for the blood, sometimes they either catch themselves on something sharp, or were pecked in a way that healed so that might not make you notice right away. One of mine had her comb pecked and that bled a fair amount, but when it stopped (5 min or so later) it wasn't terribly noticable.

Hanging out with them for a bit should give you a hint if someone's really "off" though.

I had a triple yolker Sunday morning for breakfast. It was tastey!

It's my second one! I'll get a picture next time.

OK, I haven't gotten a chance to check them all out. Here's the picture. It's a wrinkly surface egg. I measure about 2.75" long.

Glad that nothing is too out of line. No new signs of problems. An egg inside of an egg that's interesting. It will probably be a little while before cracking this one open. 8 days in a row of all the chickens laying! No slowing down yet.

Looks like at least a double yoker. Pls post a pic when you break it open.

I read in my eggcartons.com catalog that the record number of yolks in an egg was 9....

Record at our house is 3.
