  • She laid another one yesterday! She again skipped a day before laying this giant. Curiosity got the better of me so I cracked it open to see what was inside and it had 2 yolks. I've gotten double yolk eggs in my store bought eggs before, but the egg itself was always a normal size. This is strange. The 2nd giant egg was on the tad bit mis-shapen side, not really obvious but a little lumpy. Very interesting. It was delicious though!
    • i have an americauna that does this also. egg is about as big as a duck egg
    • Dan, does yours also lay it every other day? I feel sorry for my hen, this looks so painfully big in comparison to her body!
    • i just get one every once in a while, i have too many hens to tell which one is laying them

    that is the post to the egg ben was talking about, really freaky.
    • Yep, that one was mine. I just got another one last week - same size, same weird shape as the last one. Haven't cracked it open yet to see if it's the same inside. My hen is an alien from another planet. Let us know what's inside yours.
    • Oh no! I'm scared to crack it open. That just is too weird. Like twins where one twin absorbed the other....freaky! Maybe there is something in the air.....
  • One of my girls laid a huge one too this week....I'm afraid to crack it in case something weird flies out...nope...just kidding...for sure it's got to be a double yoke. It's so cool!
  • Ouch....thats a beauty...that girl deserves a treat !
  • Awesome! Double yolkers are exciting. Well, probably not for the hen....
