Tina C Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Ouch. That's twice the size of the eggs my girls lay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 She seems unfazed by the experience. I hope she doesn't lay a bigger one, it worries me, I kept thinking she'll never top the last one Her eggs never quite fit in the eggbox, even if "small." Katy's are about half the weight at around 73g, and Abbie's about 50-60g It feels heavy, could it be the antibiotics she was on Can't eat it but will crack open as usually big ones are a single-yolker Interesting to find out.....

chocchick Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Was double yolker, the 102g this week wasn't though... At the top 54g, 73g and 139g In omlet eggcups next to 73g egg Volume in a pint glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 No wonder she was feeling a bit off colour...perhaps she was working towards this. Perhaps we should start a leader board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 That would go to little Lucille, who lays 30g eggs. Strangely enough, they used to be white, but are now the palest of beiges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Beautiful great big egg Scramble it up & feed it back to her - she deserves it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Not quite as good as 139g, but Trinny laid a 137g egg yesterday, and we can eat it although it won't fit in a box wth the other eggs Bizaarly she laid it in the garden while we were watching as Katy was on the nest. Today she has quite a hard crop and was a little hunchy so I stood her on the eglu run and massaged her crop for about 5 minutes and she laid a soft egg down the side of the eglu Maybe she realises we've seen her lay 2 soft eggs when she was poorly and there's no point hiding her modesty anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 What a girl!! I hope she is feeling better now after getting rid of that soft-shelled one. What a roller-coaster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Dont know how i missed this thread before OMG Chocy i really think you do have turkeys - those eggs are just out of this world! The biggest egg i have had (not me personally) has been 95g and that seemed huge but 137g is just so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 The one the other week was 139g... I'm surprised to see her lay 2 eggs in 2 days after not seeing it in over a year before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
