Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I had to go and do a conversion - eggs are the only things I do in grams, everything else is "old money" . 8 oz = 226.796 g in case anyone else is an ounce dunce! That's one big egg - it would even push Egluntine off the Leader Board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I wonder if his chicken is in fact an ostrich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scramble Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Sorry to post again but the comments at the bottom of the page someone has posted this: 'Im sorry but our chickens do this on a regular basis and we have not ran to the news papers about it. Its just ridiculous! Oh and they are by the looks of it Ex Battery Hens just like what we keep. We rescue about 3000 a year.' - Vikx, notts, 25/8/2008 22:21 Scroll right down to the bottom of the page... They're not serious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
