I just collected the eggs and found this monster weighing in at 97 gramms!!

 

This is it next to our second largest egg that weights 69 gramms

 

 

Compared to the rest we have:

 

 

Its good to see all of the chooks are still walking normally!

You could make a good omlette with that one.

OUCH Double yolker....?

I think our biggest was around the 97-99 mark.

 

My impression of the chook that laid it:

 

Haha yeah, I can just imagine what the chook said at the time too! I hope its a double yolker, I'd like to think that chook will get tomorrow off.

 

When we get too many eggs we give them away to friends and family, but I guess this one will have to be a keeper!

 

Wow, that deserves to be freshly topped on top of some crispy bacon for breakfast double yolker = double yummy

WOW!! What an egg. have you candled it to see if it is a double???

It's so beautifully formed. i bet the hen needed stitches after passing that

If a double yolker were fertilised, would you get twins?

I didn't candle it, but it was a double yolker and tasted great in tonights dinner! :hi:

 

I think I read once that you can get twins from a double yolker. I think it was Kaz that said that??

Yes, you can get twins from a double yolker. It is not very common though as the doubles are often infertile. Our hens produced a few last season, but not one was fertile. Twins would be really cool.. Kaz had twin budgies and they both survived too :hi:

Wouldn't it be fun to get 2 chicks from an egg? Not too much fun for Mum, though.

Kaz has had twins, and they survived to be beautiful bird's, Anyone eaten an ostrich egg before??

:hi:

Wow what an egg! We have never got huge eggs, but once we got a very very tiny egg from our hens. It weight just 3 gram!

 

Here are some photos from when I showed the egg for Petronella, Avril and Winchester.

:o wow...3 grams LOL! looks the size of a quail egg

Wow, from one extreme to the other.

 

Was there a yolk in it and was it one of your chooks first eggs? I've heard they can do strange things when the first start laying, like laying eggs without shells etc.

No they didn't . If you're refering to Steel and Saphine, Saphine died

Check out this article about a tiel breeder who regularly gets double yolkers. When the two chicks survive, they are not identical.
