This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Bottom - pullet egg. A younger hen often starts laying with smaller eggs.

Middle - regular egg from an adult chicken.

Top - likely a double- identical twin eggs sharing a shell.

All from adult (2.5 year old) hens within a one week span 🤷

EDIT: also, one particular hen routinely lays those large, weird, elongated eggs. She's a buff orpington

I guess they have to ease into larger sizes, just like humans do. 🙃
