I want to see everyone else's big eggs! We got some chicks in April which aren't laying yet and some RTLs in July. One of them lays HUGE eggs every day. It has become a game to weigh it at the end of the day. Not sure who it is despite my constant spying haha. Today was her biggest, 88 grams!!! They usually average around 79. Whoever it is just started laying two weeks ago. The first one was a normal size and the rest have all been like this! I hope she doesn't get egg bound!

Wow. That almost looks emu sized. :-! I hope that things get sorted for her and she starts laying more normal sized eggs soon. The size she's laying ATM must be hard on her.

She has started laying normal ones now, just the occasional "football" as we call them.

Several years ago, from one of several Cornish/Rock meaties I raised to breeding age and beyond. I don't recommend trying that, in case you're wondering.
The eggs from this particular girl were the biggest chicken eggs I've ever seen. Wish I'd had a scale, but really, at the end of the day, that egg weight was irrelevant for many reasons except for what it could contribute to a breakfast omelette :rofl:
