broody Patsy with Gimpy

Patsy has been broody for about a week, every time we go out to the coop we boot her off the nest box and she fluff up like a turkey and struts around . . . silly chicken.

something in the water?

now it's Gimpy's turn

It was Gimpy's turn to lay a huge egg today. Now it isn't as large as the one Naomi laid last week, but above average for sure. Must be something in the water . . .

double yolker

double yolker

Well, it was a double yolker. Two full size yolks instead of the smaller yolks in a usual double yolk egg. Hannah asked, so I made her a one egg omelet.

ouch!

ouch!

On the right is one of Naomi's regular eggs, equal to about an extra-large or jumbo store egg. On the left is the one she laid today. It's at least a double yoker, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were a triple.
