So which egg this morning weighed in at 41g? And which one is 77g? Amazing seeing the difference...
Poor chooky that laid the big one. I think that the beautiful Australorp laid it. She's such a gentle and lovely girl :)
Cheers

Hello Dalinz, my name is Alice and I live in Colorado. I just happened across your blog and love it! I live more specifically in Englewood, we are city folk. We have 14 chickens and unless you have very tiny hands, I have never seen such huge eggs! What types of chooks do you have? I love that you call them chooks. We have Leghorns, Australorps, Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orpington, and Ameraucana and a spotted one I can remember the name of. We raise them for the eggs and to educate our daughter about where eggs come from. Not just a carton in a store. Well, thanks again for the great blog. Take care!
How lovely that you have found your way to my blog :)
Currently we have 15 hens, 1 rooster (Bruce) and 2 pure white Muscovy Ducks... Chooks is a funny word. Must agree... It's slang for Chicken here in Australia :)
We also have Australian Pit Game, Australops, Leghorns. Mostly they are laying hens that are mixed breeds. I am in the process of getting more RIR as we love them here. Love their big size :) Either way we love your chooks and love watching their personalities come out :) We have only named four of the chooks. Tiny is my eldest's favourite. Oh and so is Bella. What am I saying. They are all his favourite. Hehe
No, my hand is a normal size (:)) but the sizes that some of the girls come out with are amazing to say the least... We had been waiting for a while, about six months for them to lay again after going through their molt and now are blessed with around 10 eggs a day. Nothing better than a home grown free range egg. :) :)
