Egg #96: Extra Jumbo

That's right, we have been tallying up our eggs since Day 1, and we are at 96 since December 23rd. Not too shabby, right? My chickens are egg-laying machines! The best surprise came this morning though, when Fluff pushed out this super huge egg. It is literally the size of my palm. Ouch! I am curious how many yolks are in there, but I haven't cracked it open yet. We have yet to have a double-yolked egg, but I think this might be the one! I'll keep you posted.


Lucky #96
two hands for this egg!

The hens are well despite the recent frigid conditions. They do all have a bit of comb frostbite, which makes me sad, but they are rallying their spirits in the (relatively) warmer weather.
