Overachiever in the chicken coop

I was in the chicken coop picking eggs and noticed a fairly large egg in the nest. Now when you have chickens you don’t always get the same sizes like you see in the store. Sometimes you get round ones, long ones, small ones, and even pretty dirty ones

But tonight? I got an Enormous one! I don’t think in the 30+ years of having chickens on the farm have I seen one so big. And so I was wondering if I could tell what chicken laid it and then I thought how dumb is that? Seriously was I trying to see if one was walking a little slower and kinda funny or something? So I finished gathering eggs and just had to take a picture to show you how big it is. Now remember our regular eggs are pretty big to start with. I mean we have to usually have to use the large or extra large egg cartons to store them in. So check it out DSC_0392Can you tell which one is the large one?DSC_0393

    Holy cow that’s a big egg! Did you know that it’s good luck when you crack open an egg and it has two egg yolks in it? I bet this one has two!

    i think i heard once that the larger eggs like that may have been laid by younger chickens, for whatever reason. that would be a big ‘one egg omelet’!

    We didn’t crack the egg yet – but I’m guessing it’ll be for an omelet or something! Poor chicken!!
