As the Olympics kicked off on the other side of the world, our "never wanting to be left out of anything" hens decided to have a little competition of their own!
Pictured above is today's entry from each of our actively laying girls - Ginger is conveniently molting, so she gets a pass from competing in this event. Although in the all time records category, she is the only one in our flock to have laid a double-yolk egg! Starting on the left and going clockwise are eggs from Marzipan, Layla and Babs.
Let's see what the judges have to say...
Somewhat respectable, but not really a championship effort... I think ol' Marzi isn't really interested. And for the record, she is by far the biggest (aka: fattest) chicken in the yard)
Next: Babs
Nice one, Babs! .35 ounces better than your roost-mate!
HOLY GIGANTIC EGG!! Topping Marzipan by a full ounce, with the biggest brown egg we've ever gotten, Layla definitely brought her 'Grade A' game to these Egg-Olympics!
That is hilarious. I wish I would have known. I would have entered the games. I think that fresh eggs are so much heavier. And yokier. Have you ever had a triple? We have had a couple. It is weird huh.
ReplyDeleteI love the competition. That egg was gold medal worthy. Cluck cluck.
I made French Toast with all three eggs this morning, and Layla's Prize Winner was indeed a double yolker! Now that elite club has two members!!
ReplyDeleteYEAH LAYLA!!!! May she live long and lay much!!!!!
