One of my girls laid the mother of all eggs today. This egg is 2.7 ounces of egg JOY. It's a full .6 ounces bigger than my previously blogged about MONDO egg. That's 76.54 grams, for all you metric nerds:
Just for perspective, an average Jumbo egg from the store weighs 2.5 ounces or 74 grams. My eggs are currently averaging between 1.6 and 1.8 ounces. Where in the WORLD did this big boy come from???
It's so big....it doesn't even fit into my champagne glass. What? I'm the only one who puts eggs in champagne glasses? Oh.:
Clearly, I continue to be made ridiculously happy by the eggs my pretty girls give me every day.
P.S. That first picture at the top? Monster egg is next to wee baby egg, my smallest egg to-date, weighing in at .2 ounces. It hardly even registers on the scale, it's so small.
Are you going to crack it and see if it's a double yolker too? It certainly looks large enough to be one! That teenie egg is so cute next to the monster egg.
ReplyDeleteOuch.
ReplyDeleteIs it going on a trip? I see it next to the "TRAVELOCITY GNOME", and it looks like he's been drinking again, and that egg scared him so bad that he lost all of his color! ;)
ReplyDeleteOnce again, love the egg pics. That frog looked stunned! That Gnome was in such shock, he couldn't even move.
ReplyDeleteKeep the freaky eggs comming.
Looks like a double yolker to me!! :) Ouch! Ya gotta figure that one hurt!
ReplyDeleteCould an ostrich be lurking in the woods and sneaking into your coop at night? That thing is an omelette all by itself!
ReplyDeleteNice egg! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe get eggs that big, too, the ones that make it impossible to close the egg carton...but ours aren't double yolkers, :-(...
I hope yours are! :D
I'm in "egg envy" right this moment. I am so anxious for "my" girls to start laying . . . but patiently waiting until we get back to California where they live. They are due to start laying the first of October.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful awesome egg. I can't imagine any size chicken laying that "mother" but am glad it has given you subject matter for your photo session.
Cute pictures of that big ole Egg!!!
ReplyDeleteOuch, I'm glad I didn't have to lay that!
ReplyDeleteI bet a big ole Black Star laid that egg.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was 2 weeks worth of egg laying from your gal, Dot? She had to make up for lost time.
ReplyDeleteIs that a deviled egg platter?
OMG, love the egg in various poses. You have to share what chicken laid that egg...and is that a normal egg for them to lay? Cause I want one!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should make a coffee table book with egg pictures! I love when you do it. Do your boys roll their eyes, or are they smart enough to figure out it's just one of the things that makes you cool?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful big egg! I bet your Buff Orp gal Spongebob laid that big egg. Could very well have a double yolk. Maybe even triple!
ReplyDeleteYou always make me laugh when you find 101 different places to take a picture of the same egg!
ReplyDeleteWowza! That's a Big Birtha, Huh? I'm soooo, looking forward to eggs. Not til spring for me though.
ReplyDeleteDanni....I think Roopert laid this egg....he's trying to play a trick on you!! Ha Ha Ha!!!
ReplyDeleteCool egg! My hens just started laying last week. I have gotten mostly small eggs, but I got a pretty big blue egg. Wish I had a scale to weigh them on!
ReplyDeleteOkay. Ouch. That had to hurt. I am glad I don't lay eggs.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love it when you get these different sizes and shapes? It does look like it could be a double yolker.
