Well, there I was thinking it was just another day. I thought we might have got three eggs (a perfect score from our three chooks, but it doesn't happen that often), but I was not expecting this ...
That's right ladies and gentlemen - a whopping 118 gram egg! Miss Keema completely outdid herself! You may remember one of my first blogs was about Keema laying a 90g egg. Well, in a slightly modified version of the immortal words of Crocodile Dundee - that's not an egg .... now THIS is an egg!
I swear to you, she's just a normal Langshan chook, not a duck or a goose. Here is a photo of the MONSTER alongside her normal offering (about 80g) and then on the right, an example of the typical egg we get from the other two girls (64-66 g)
It would not fit in the egg carton and looked quite bizarre against the others - a kind of Mt Killimanjaro of eggs against a few measly hills
DH is a bit weirded out and is not sure about eating it. I can't wait to see if its a double yolker!
And do you know the most incredible thing? She laid us another egg the very next day! Only 78g though - but that still qualifies as an extra large egg in the Supermarket. She skipped the next day and has laid consistently ever since.
What an amazing girl! Thanks Keema - queen of the layers!
Talk soon

Wow! Are are there double yolks in there?
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an awesome egg! You'll have to let us know if there's two yolks. That's so great to have chickens and fresh eggs!
ReplyDeleteOoh! Ouch! That posting made me wince!!! What a whopper!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that big egg has two yolks. We get them once-in-a while.
