I have a small, mixed flock of 16 hens

Been laying well the last few weeks averaging 10 a day

The eggs come in all sizes from medium to jumbo...

Today's haul was a dozen but one egg twice the size of any ever

Actually one of those could have three yolks. Two normal size and one
real little one like a marble size. Poor hen !!

Likely to be a double yoke egg. Seen many of them over the years. I have a few hens that want to sit on eggs so I am leaving the eggs under them for a day or so. I have 24 dozen eggs on hand right now so sure do not need any more

We had a chicken that would give us those, she didn't last too long. It wasn't pretty...

I have 8200 hens, so I see ones that size fairly often. Some have an entire egg in them, shell and all.

Why doesn't a chicken say half an egg?
Because it comes out of the a$$ whole..

WOW...over 650 dozen a day

I can't comprehend that amount EVERY day

That's alot of chicken chit to move also

Must be quite an egg processing facility with cleaning, grading, boxing and cold storage
