Posted April 30, 200718 yr Hi peoples, I posted a topic about the size of eggs one of my girls was laying. So here they are.....the sad thing is that none are fertile would have loved to seen what was in the big one.
April 30, 200718 yr wow it's like double the size of the others. Did you think to crack them open? Edited April 30, 200718 yr by Nerwen
April 30, 200718 yr ooohhh. We were hoping for twins. Nearly enough there for an omelette. Tell the hen to try again Paul
April 30, 200718 yr Author Hi peoples, I posted a topic about the size of eggs one of my girls was laying. So here they are.....the sad thing is that none are fertile would have loved to seen what was in the big one. Well I haven't cracked them open yet.......however when you put them to the light...they are clear. But tomorrow I'll crack the big one open to see if it was a double yoke.
April 30, 200718 yr Oh my, that is a big egg... Pity that it's not fertile. would have loved to have seen the result of it.
May 2, 200718 yr But tomorrow I'll crack the big one open to see if it was a double yoke. Let us know, I would have thought you would be able to see in a clear egg but maybe not.
May 3, 200718 yr I just forgot to mention, looking at the photo of the difference in egg size... That was the difference in the size of egg the twins come out of compared with the other eggs too
May 3, 200718 yr Author I just forgot to mention, looking at the photo of the difference in egg size... That was the difference in the size of egg the twins come out of compared with the other eggs too Yep....well they were all clear.........I cracked them open.........and what a shame the big one was a double yoke. Well I guess I should put her with another male. I've just noticed in the last couple of days that the male loves having relations on the breeding cabinets frame work.........thats probably why her eggs were clear.....to busy with the cage not enough with the girl..... What a dumb bird... Oh well...thats life...
