Whopper Egg

[Pyxis]

i am new, so please forgive me for this question. i know it sounds ridiculous. if it were fertilized and had 2 yolks, could 2 chicks be hatched from that egg... my shift key is broken, so no caps or question marks tonight.

Yep! I was just actually browsing a thread the other day where a member put two double yolk eggs in an incubator, and one of them successfully hatched two chicks. Only one made it from the other egg. She took a video of the hatch and everything. It was pretty neat!

If you were to hatch that egg the chick would come out full grown . L.O.L.

Hello Fierlin,

You made me curious so I decided to look up egg sizes on the Internet. The first table is for the USA and the second for Australia where I come from:
My chooks are all adopted so I'm not sure how old they are. We've had them for nearly a year now and when we first got them, they were already all laying.

I would think those categories would only apply to single-yolkers? I haven't got a clue. But it's pretty normal to get multiple yolks once in a while, I've heard stories of three yolks, although never gotten one of those myself. P.S. Australia? I thought your username rang a bell. I've been in Adelaide for almost five years now.

Hello everyone,

I finally cracked open Rosie's whopper egg and lo and behold it only had one yolk. So it really was a monster of an egg and not a double yolker. I gave it to my chooks for a breakfast feast this morning with a couple of slices of bread. It gave a whole new meaning to eggs on toast - yum!

Hello Fierlin,

Always nice to meet a fellow Aussie! Top of the day to you from the Sunshine State (QLD) to the Festival State (SA).

Hello GentlyLiving,
Thank you, it sure was a beauty! It's all been gobbled up now by four little

This morning Rosie laid her usual 68g egg, so everything is back to normal.

Out of curiosity I looked up the world record for the largest chicken egg, it was a whopping 201 grams!

Although yours was not this large it was HUGE!!!!
