Double yolk

Wyandottes tend to lay medium size eggs, but sometime in the spring the pullets get a bit enthusiastic and lay a giant double yolker, and then settle down to normal size.
this one is different for me, because the yolks were actually larger then in the regular eggs.
4 regular eggs on left and 1 egg on the right

That must have been a large egg! Are you sure one of your chickens laid it? Maybe a wild turkey stopped in to use the facilities? ;-)

It was indeed a huge egg, I find them a bit scary always worried that the hen gets hurt.
Female sympathy I guess ;)
