Errr.....I mean Becky and the giant......egg. This egg was laid by Chick Pea, Becky's Buff Orpington hen. She only lays about one a week, but these massive double yolkers max out our old fashioned egg scale. On the electronic scale they each come out to 3.7 ounces, a full 1.2 ounces larger than a jumbo egg.

A double yolker? Would those hatch if not omelleticized? Are you sure Chick Pea isn't an ostrich? Wow. Very nice.
Who had the nice breakfast??
So a three egg omelet would be a gut buster!
Holy Hannah, that's an egg now!!
STeve, sometimes they do indeed hatch, but you generally get a deformed chick. It is rare. My great grandmother had one with two heads when my grandma was a girl. It lived quite a while and was a neighborhood sensation in the time before TV....Becky made a sandwich with it and gave me a quarter. She is a terrific cook so....
Jeffro, yeah, it is probably a good thing old CP and her sister don't lay too many eggs. lol
Laurie, amazing huh? I couldn't believe how hard it is to take a picture of an egg....Alan took these.
Fred; in devener. thats some egg!!! the buffs we have lay eggs that big also.
Love ya

Baby brother, so glad your flight made it safely. This was a good way to let me know. I forgot to tell Becky how old you think Chick Pea is, but I will tell her now. Love you, and have a great time out there!
