These are eggs from Ameraucanas LF
Small one in the middle is from a pullet, the two large ones are from a 3 year old hens.
They may not lay as many eggs as they mature, but they compensate by the size and frankly anybody firing out this size egg, is well deserving of an occasional holiday

Love that scale, somebody gave it to DH years ago, because he knew we had chickens, and he had no use for it :)
