I wish you had taken a picture of it. I've had chickens for only about 11 years, but never seen or heard of anthing like that. I'm still always amazed everytime I bring in the eggs. How do those 'Cana girls make their eggs blue anyway? How can they produce one every day? It's similar to computers for me, it's still just a big mystery!

Yes we had that a few times and yes usually double yolk ,you wonder how they could lay such a huge egg.what color?I have the blue and blue green.

Yes, it happened when I was a kid. We raised the heavier breeds of chickens back then cause some were for eating.

We got a huge green one before. It only had one yolk also. After the huge egg we never got another colored egg, I think it broke the chicken. Though from a different chicken we got a really small egg, maybe about the size of a ping pong ball.

I had the same huge egg last year. Breeding 10 hens and one cock at my land. I was greatly surprised when find it. Was about double from the normal size.

We had one a little over a year ago, from our Buff Orpington hen. It happens when an egg spends a little extra time in the chute and gets an extra shellacking. So to speak. :)

Here's what ours looked like and what we found when we cracked it open:

Compared to the size of our other eggs:

And what we found inside--the egg on the left was the inner egg and is of normal size for our Orp. There was some egg white and random chalaza.

It was truly a giant darned egg and was doubtless uncomfortable to have to lay, although there was no blood on it. We just told her she was being an overachiever. :)

OMG!
That's a huge egg and an interesting inner-egg.

We have 1 Buff, so maybe she'll do something similar.

One of our 4 chickens (we have 3-PBRs) lays torpedo eggs.

Gathering eggs is a neat lil treat.
