One of my chickens laid a huge egg.

I bet there’s an egg in the egg

Does that happen? I've heard of double yolks but not nested eggs. This is our first year with the girls so first I'm seeing this.
I did get an egg with no shell once, just the thin membrane. Didn't take a picture tho.
- It can happen sometimes. Also if they got a weak/no shell then u should mix some eggshell in their food or that additive stuff that's basically just small mineral rich rocks to help em get enough to make a proper shell.
- It happens, as documented in this classic video
Use a stronger egg. Put water in it. Put an egg in it. Have a baby on land, in the egg, in the egg. Baby in the water, on land, in the egg, in water, in the egg.
- We could make a religion out of this
Seriously, I bet it's a double yolk though.

Yo, that's like $700.00 worth of eggs right there.

Checkmate tariffs.

The chicken:

I was gunna say:

You can identify which it was by checking which hen is walking with a limp today (mostly untrue, although they can have prolapses).

Is your chicken's name Sheila by any chance?

I have one particular chicken that does this pretty regularly. Long and kind of skinny, often with an odd texture on the end, sometimes with a weird constriction in the middle.

Also, you inspired me to post a pic of a tiny egg I got last week : https://lemmy.world/post/24677253

This is from a full grown 2.5 year old chicken that typically lays "normal" eggs... not sure why she laid one tiny one randomly.

Did I start a thing? Is this going to be Lemmy's version of the safe?
- This is such an upgrade. Let the torrent of wonky egg posts carry me away.
- Not as long as you deliver.
  That's a double yolk at least. Maybe even a triple if that's possible.
- I support it!
I used to go to this bar and grill that had soft boiled quail eggs wrapped in bacon on a skewer. Looked about that size, maybe even smaller. Now I’m hungry.

We’ve all been there…

I wonder if it’s a double.

Ouch

God bless her

When you're the tallest person in the classroom

I think I would've been OK if the girth matches the length but......why is it just lonk

Eggshells are a little softer before they come out. Poor dear had to squeeze extra contents through her same cloaca.
- Cloaca so tight it gives long eggs

That's a raptor egg. Somehow uhh... Life finds a way

Probably twins or triplets or so

Dinosaur.

Is it OK?

Bet it is the only bad one lol

Will they taste bad?
- More like Rotten egg, I argue. It always happens that the most promising looking egg is the rotten one.

Must have felt that one coming out!

So you sell them and buy a house?

All I got were three lousy magic beans.
- Feed them to the Chicken who laid the giant egg!
  It will then grow over night and you can ride your Monster Chicken into battle next morning!

Must have been laid by a big cock.

I'll show myself out.

It's frightening.

Is one of your chickens deflated today? Also, do they make epidurals for fowl?

A rooster sits on the peak of a roof that is running north to south the wind is blowing easy to west which direction does the egg roll?

What egg?
