Eggs


A beautiful Ranunculas
Lots of buds still to open

There are eggs, and then there are eggs!

Whoever laid this GIANT egg
would certainly have needed a a nanna nap that day!

The photos really don't give you an accurate impression
But I was fascinated at the size of this egg

Holding it in my hand was amazing
It was enormous

Weighing in at 111gms!!!

I'd never seen one so large
I think it will be a tripple yolker!
I'll find out tomorrow

I can feel your sense of fascination. What kind of chickens do you have?

We had a triple yolker last year... poor chook! one of my friends found an antique egg measurer thingy at an antique shop, I wonder if you can still buy them?

Jenny said...

Only your happy chooks could lay a whopper like that Annie:)

Wow, are you sure it is a chicken egg and not a ...snake's one?

What cute pictures! I'll be watching. Do you have a duck or a goose hiding out in your hen house?

That is a BIG egg! We've seen some pretty big ones here, too. Don't know if they were that big though.

Well how many yolks?
You would only need 6 of them to make a dozen!
