Mutrix Farmers Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 We had a 90g egg today, but we don't know who laid it It looks absolutely enormous compared to the usual 55-60g eggs we've been getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 now this is getting ridiculous I am going more green by the minute! largest we've had are in the 40 g's but they are only new to laying Well done mystery layer, you know who you are!

TAJ Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I bet it will be a double yoker - biggest we have had so far is 94g - but anything we have had in the 70s - 90s have all been double yokers. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Watch Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 1 year on and my girls regularily lay between 75-90g eggs now. Not double yolkers just single. I now think of this as normal size and when I give some away, I get great reactions from friends that think the eggs are enormous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 would you mind if you upload some picture would be nice to see I will see what I can do. We had another biggy this morning - 78g I don't think it is the same chook as it's a slightly different shade of mid brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruitandNutCake Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I wouldn't be suprised if it came from your brown nick - as I guess she is from the same batch as my Fair Dinkum - and she lay a 98g one today, after a break of about 11 days. Fortunately I can tell who lays which egg as the three lay in different places, and also the colour and texture is slightly different. The brown nick (Fair Dinkum) lays darker eggs with kind of rough texture at the pointed end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squatlobster Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I hate to be a show-off..., but I was presented with a 100g single-yolked egg yesterday AND the day before, presumably form the same chicken (?) Must admit, the first one had a slightly odd textured shell; sort of bumpy like orange peel, but otherwise all normal. What is the biggest egg anyone has had? They are getting so cheeky now - when I open the back door they come into the kitchen (and poo on the floor... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 00g - that would go on the egg leader board! Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 My Buffy (brahma) goes through phases every now and again of presenting us with what we call 'cut & shunt' eggs. They look like two eggs that have been cut off and glued together with a ridge in the middle. She lays these for three or four days (all double yolkers) and then she goes back to laying much smaller eggs for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surferdog Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 My Buffy (brahma) goes through phases every now and again of presenting us with what we call 'cut & shunt' eggs. What a brilliant description - sums it up perfectly. We've been thinking of them as ringers ( you know where two cars are cut and welded back together.....)
