A monster of an egg

Yesterday I went out to collect eggs and found the biggest egg I have ever seen in one of the nesting boxes.  Here is a picture for comparison:


The egg on the far right is a normal
Ameraucana egg. The one in the middle is a duck egg. The one on the left is the huge egg. It was nearly the size of my palm!  Poor girl who laid that thing!

I cracked it for lunch today, wondering if it would be another triple yolk. It was just a double but they were very large yolks. 


I made an egg sandwich on a bagel with a slice of havarti cheese. It was delightful!
