Went out and collected eggs on Sunday Nov. 28 and I found this jumbo egg! Its 3 1/2 inches from one end to the other and 6 inches round. I seen the hen that laid it, she is my BO broody momma from August that hatched out chicks... this is the 1st time shes laid since she went broody, her chicks have just now stopped following her around.
Guess this is what happens when a hen doesnt lay an egg for over 3 months, shes gotta get back into the groove of things.* I got another huge egg the other day, I blew it out and plan on makin a Christmas ornament out of it... Been gettin 3-5 eggs a day.
Gotta love those double yolkers! I can't wait to order chicks in the spring!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish we would get more double yolkers, lol. Hope winter goes by fast so you can get your chickies.
ReplyDeleteI know. I'm excited, and then depressed thinking that it will be next fall before I start getting eggs! LOL
ReplyDeleteOoo yeah. But they will be worth it.
ReplyDeleteJust OUCH! That's a bigg'un! Wow.
ReplyDeleteThat is a big egg! I have only ever gotten two double yolkers since we started keeping chickens a few years ago. Right now I am lucky to get any :-( .
