Yolk Question

[redstars]

Ok. I have gotten single yolks and Double Yolks. Then today When I gathered the eggs I found a
massive egg! Much larger than the rest of them. Anyone ever gotten a triple yolk?
I don't want to crack it just yet ( I wanna show it off for a while) I figured I would check
with the wealth of Information on BYC. That way I can Keep it a bit.

Maybe it is a egg within a egg. Never had one happen, but someone posted about it on here.

I had a huge one that was 3.7 ounces, but others on BYC have reported 4 ounces and over. Have you weighed it?

The poor darlin' who laid it. She must be like "ouchie" down there!

Here's a video of another huge egg -- it was posted a while ago on BYC. But, be prepared for the revelation that the poor hen who laid this egg died after she laid it.

No I do not have a scale yet. They have only been laying for a little over a week.
What do you mean a egg within an egg? Like 2 shells?
That would be cool.
