A couple days ago, I collected this monster of an egg. Truly "jumbo" sized! I have no idea who laid it, and I haven't gotten any more like it, but this was really a shocker when I peeked into the nest box.
Apparently, occasionally laying large eggs like this is normal, and not anything to be concerned about. When I researched the topic, I found that they usually contain either two yolks, or an egg within an egg (maybe where the idea of nesting eggs/dolls came from originally?). So, I cracked it open and voila, there were two yolks, just as suspected!
Hens are definitely an odd crowd, that is for sure...
