Thanks for putting us out of our misery!!! Wow that is a whopper!! And doesn't it look so out of place in the egg box with the others? So when are you going to find out if it is double yolker?

I am lucky with my girls they all lay good size eggs, but the lid won't shut on the egg box i am just so pleased i got the pic's on at last, did you see the weight Back to top thewinkingtiger Joined: 31 Aug 2005 Posts: 936 Location: East Yorkshire, UK Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2006 3:30 pm    Post subject: Well don't forget to take a pic of that too!!! I couldn't quite read the weight - but I think you said it was a massive 109 grammes???? My sums might be a bit off but isn't that over 4 oz???? Stephen?? Is there any chance of getting all the big egg pics together on one thread???
