This egg is way tooo big!

I have one chicken that consistantly lays eggs that are too big
for any carton or tray.

It is amazing that she can even lay one that big! I had a chicken that did that on occasion too. It never had a double yolk but lots of egg white.

We have a hen like that too---usually has two yolks in it.

Don't try to hatch those huge eggs as they are probably double yolks. Awesome omlets!

 

[Rebbetzin]

So far only single yolks. I wonder if it was a fertile egg, would the chick be any bigger?
We aren't allowed roosters here in the city.

I had a little red hen that would do eggs like that. We felt sorry for the poor girl. LOL

I have a regular 'double yolker' from a huge hen. Heaviest 124g......ouch!
I did incubate one a few years back (we live out in the sticks and have 5 roosters). Initially two embryos developed,but both died before hatching. If it is just a large single-yolked egg then the chick comes out slightly bigger.....the embryo was regular sized,but they had a lot of food from the big yolk. They go on to form regular-sized chickens.
Some folk have successfully hatched 'twins', but they need help out of the shell.....there are a few YouTube videos if you are interested.

I don't have a rooster, so my eggs will never make any chicks. It would be fun to hatch some eggs, but, here in the city they frown upon keeping roosters.

We had a consistent double yoker...

We found this in our nesting box a couple of weeks ago! Crazy!!! (1st photo is just to show the size in comparison to a "normal" large egg.)
