CrookhamChooks Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 105g; it was scarily large - I can't imagine what 139g looked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flo Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Wow - the biggest we have had so far was from Luci yesterday at 51g! Will hers get that big eventually? Her and Mabel started at about 38g so they are gettng bigger! Flo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 has anybody had problems after their girls laid larger eggs? I think my record is about 100g, so not going to score any points, but it has led to these being referred to as Eye Watering Eggs (or EWEs for short) - I had to swallow hard and wince when I saw the first one! Are they more likely to prolapse when they lay these? Which breeds lay the largest eggs - mine are Omlet Gingernuts, are they the biggest layers?

craftyhunnypie Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 My Blanche - Pepperpot once laid a 102g - Very very paper thin shelled tho & broke when I lifted it out of the nest. Double yolker too. Gosh 139g - Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Here it is in all it's glory, and a double-yolker. At the top 54g, 73g and 139g In omlet eggcups next to 73g egg She does lay eggs at least 80-90g generally, but seems OK unless she has a soft egg. I saw her lay a 137g egg on the lawn the same week and it just slid out really easily in one go She has had undiagnosed health problems several times though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 wow , those sizes make our 80g egg look positively tiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Well I knew it wouldn't take long for our girls to take the record! 280g!! beat that!! (no pun intended.) (This is for half a dozen eggs isn't it? I weighed them without the box to give everyone a chance!) Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I just assumed he had bought an ostrich by mistake Me too! The largest egg I have had was about 100g, Snooty laid it and it was a double yolker. she generally lays eggs about 65g-70g, so does Bossy, but Snooty is a sporadic layer. Cheeky is a small girl and churns out 55g ones on a daily basis. However, they are all having a protracted moult at the moment, so not many eggs at all Growing up with my grans chickens, she regularly had weird eggs as she had probably 50 laying chickens at any one time. I quite liked the ones in a 'bag' no shell, just the membrane (so did grandmas dog, they were her treat ) but once she had a quadruple yolker that was long and had several 'waists'. There were the occasional fertile ones too, all bloody . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
