My kids went out to gather eggs yesterday, and they came running in - "Mom, we've got a giant egg"! To put this in perspective, the middle egg is your averaged size extra large egg that you would purchase at the store. The egg on the right is from one of our silkies (Bessie) - its a size small/medium egg. The one on the left is MONGO HUGE! Well, we couldn't wait for breakfast to break open that baby and see what was inside. My littles thought that a chick was in there for sure... well, it was a twinner! Yep, 2 yolks (no chicks, that's just sick). We were pretty excited. Anyway, our poor orpington (Mildred - well, all the orpies are named Mildred because we can't tell them apart) was cacklin' up a storm all afternoon - and now I know why. She was birthin' this big ole egg. Poor girl.
