Monster Egg

I've seen the occasional newspaper article with a proud chicken owner holding up their monster egg. Always good fun. I probably won't make it into a major publication with this one, but it is out of the norm so worth showing off here.

Monster egg on the left, typical size on the right

The photo doesn't quite do it justice but the monster is about 50% bigger than normal. The one on the left of the photo is 102g, compared with a more typical size at 67g on the right. The monster won't fit into an egg carton properly. I'll be thinking about the poor chicken that laid it while I'm frying it up :)

Update 29th December 2011:
Turns out this egg had a double yolk as pictured below.
