FruitandNutCake Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) Well for me anyway! Two of my three have been laying since last Saturday, so I was expecting them to have a day off! But both laid today, and Fair Dinkum usually has ones about 50g but todays looked really big - and it was 74g! Maybe a double yoker?? I'm sooo proud of her!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Exciting when you get a huge egg, isn't it . Have you eaten it yet? Was it a doubler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruitandNutCake Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 I think I may put it in a cake! So far we have had 3 boiled eggs or breakfast and I'm makng a chocolate cake for the kids at the moment. I was going to make carrot cake to try to get veg into the kids! But I'm quickly running out of eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reikiranf Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 What a good weight, clever girl Dinks One of my girls laid an egg that weighed 72grams on Wednesday and that was a double yolker So fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 hope it's a double yolker I had one a few weeks ago which was a lovely surprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruitandNutCake Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Just had it for my lunch today - and yes, it was a double yoker! She has gone back to laying normal eggs again now. I really need more chickens as I'm running out of eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Marvellous. We've not had a double yolker in ever such a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruitandNutCake Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Well 5 days later and I got another one - this time weighing in at 78g - I guess another double yoker. Hope it wasn't too uncomfortable for her - but you should have heard the noise she made. It's as if she knew it was worth shouting about!!! Looks like I could be in for a regular supply of double yokers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FruitandNutCake Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 are they in a bowl or did you do some clever soft focus jiggery pokery to make them look sexy?! They are in a pink plastic bowl - does give quite a nice effect - who needs jiggery pokery photo suites and hyper-complicated cameras! Took me long enough to work out photo bucket!!
