My sweet Mama Brahma laid the most amazing egg last Saturday!  It sent my girls into peals of laughter and made grown women groan.  This egg is so large that she didn't lay any eggs for several days.  Luckily she is okay.  I someone suggest that maybe we got two eggs for the price of one because there might be another chicken inside of her... Unlikely, but is would explain why she eats so much.  You can always find Mama head down eating something good.  Often she gets separated from the flock and starts the funniest little cry that you have ever heard.  The rooster, Sparky, actually listens for her and comes running to her aid to bring her back to the flock. 

The egg was 5.5 ounces total.  The egg inside was the size of a large egg at 2 ounces. OUCH!
