Whopper! But is it a record?

Hi Peeps, this was laid today........

135g!!!

Had a 110g one last week but this beats it hands down. The other egg in the picture is a 65g maran egg.

Wow! Poor hen.

[RichmondHens]

That must have taken some concentration!

I was mucking out yesterday and one of the cream legbars was desperate to lay so she came in and got in the nestbox. Literally within 2 minutes she started making an ooh ooh cooing/sighing sort of sound, then hunched up and deposited a perfect blue egg. I've seen quite a few eggs being laid but never heard a hen make those sounds before. It was a normal sized egg too, not huge like yours.

[Glutton4...]

That's nearly as big as my Goose eggs! Ouch!

[MaureenHall]

Ouch!!! well done that chook hope you gave her an extra treat and cuddle!

I think it's the biggest on here anyway

[lettucegrow!]

Wow! Have you eaten it yet,bet it's a triple yolker.

[minskey]

No not eaten it yet, but will let you know

One of mine groans gently when she lays - good sized eggs but not massive. I picture her like The Thinker - with her wing on her forehead in concentration!
