chelsea Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 looking at them quickly, the eggs almost resemble little faces with all the writing on. like a little audience in rows ignore me.....thats just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I bet it's a double yolker. I love the different colour eggs that you have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 Thanks all. I'm a bit of an egg anorak, I weigh each one for my egg log (dare I say I even put the details into a spreadsheet and play around with the statistics and graphs? Just for fun of course ) It's amazing that 2 almost identical hens (the s) lay completely different eggs. Florries are the normal beige colour, but Pom's are the deeper chestnut colour. Ah well, I obviously have too much time on my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Wow, Snowy it's a whopper! We had a 94g egg that we thought would be a double yolker.....but it was just a MASSIVE single egg! I have never seen such a big yolk! It almost filled a 5 inch frying pan that we usually use for two eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well, I obviously have too much time on my hands. I used to do that as well Snowy - I came across my file yesterday when clearing out and tidying up. We have too many now but I still make a mental note of who has laid as I collect the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Gosh...am I falling down on my duties....I just jot down the number laid every day and leave it at that. We do have some whoppers from time to time, but my scales are not really accurate...should I dash out and buy some especially. Massive guilt trip descending!

Lesley Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Oh yes Egluntine! - you have to have scales which measure in 1g increments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 You mean like the ones that bad boys use for measuring....erm.....white powder, Lesley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 ... erm.... I hadn't thought of it in that way I meant the ones they sell in Argos for baking purposes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Are they so accurate? My scales are as old as the hills and in pounds and ounces. Perhaps I should get some metric ones....most recipes are metric these days anyway, and I spend more time converting them than I do eating the result.!

Lesley Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yes Egluntine, they are that accurate. Mine also change between lbs/oz and kg/g at the touch of a button. Amazing what new-fangled things you can get these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfamily Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 YOu need these I was brought a set for Xmas '05 and they are brill All my girls have their eggs weighed and the details stored on their own calendar note to self...........must get a life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen such a big yolk! It almost filled a 5 inch frying pan that we usually use for two eggs! Trinny's big eggs are always single-yolked but I think just have a lot of white I have the eggxact scales, they convert grammes/ounces and good for weighing eggs, is a kitchen timer and calculates your hard/medium/soft boiled egg from fridge/room temperature by weight, but not for poor Trinny's oversize eggs (any over about 70-80g) which come up as "error" They're not so good for weighing flour etc. in big bowls. P.S. I understand the egg obsession. I emailed, texted OH about Abbie's first egg, posted on forum, on my blog, and just get a polite smile from everyone I tell I only weigh particularly small or big eggs now, but have been following Abbie's increase from 53g up to 58g.

The Dogmother Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Ours have a spreadsheet Rosie is egg monitor and she weighs each egg, notes the weight, chook and date on the egg in pencil and logs it on the sheet. It's useful for keeping note of who hasn't laid for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 (edited) All my girls have their eggs weighed and the details stored on their own calendar note to self...........must get a life We have LSB or BSL or SLB codes on our calendar to denote who has laid too Laverne, Shirley or Babs!!! (Also have our frst 2 eggs as a wallpaper on my mobile) clearly need to get out more too Edited March 12, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 But it's so important, isn't it? Especially as mine don't lay every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
