JUMBO! -- Biggest Egg Ever!

Well we had quite the surprise when we went out for our second trip to the coop today... a Jumbo egg... 2.75oz! 
Mind you we had not even really had any large eggs.  Many of the largest eggs we had gotten to this point were 1.75oz.  Pretty sure that it was Rosie who laid this 'duck egg.'
 

Patty with the Jumbo egg!

It was so large that it barely fit into the egg carton (see back row)

Comparing it to two of our other eggs from the week.
Jumbo on right.

The jumbo egg in Cindy's hand...nearly stretches across two spaces.

What we found when we cracked open the jumbo egg... a double yolk!

How many eggs?

So, as of today, our lovely ladies have produced 125 eggs since the day after Thanksgiving 2012. They are averaging 3-4 eggs everyday.

Found this little guy at the bottomof the coop ramp.  Think it rolled down.

 

Happy New Year!

Given our "About Us" section... some day we may be able to get the blue print to build a TARDIS chicken coop like these people.  I wish there was a kit.  I can put together a kit.  Not so good with building from scratch.

Happy 2013 from the Magic Castle!!
