Our smallest hen, above, surprised us the other day by laying what can only be described as an eggs-traordinary egg.. It was so big that I decided to weigh it...
At 92g it is in a class of its own. In Europe, egg sizes are defined as follows:
| Size | Mass per egg |
|---|---|
| Very Large | 73 g and over |
| Large | 63-73 g |
| Medium | 53-63 g |
| Small |
53 g and under
|
For comparison, here it is beside a 'medium' egg...
If that wasn't amazing enough, the next day she laid one even bigger at 95g!
This shows the two monster eggs next to eggs laid by the other two hens...
It makes your eyes water, doesn't it?!

Just right for boiled egg and marmite soldiers - gluten free, of course.
I winder how long the egg would need to be boiled to get that runny yolk?
