Double-Yolker

Our chicken Ariel lays the largest eggs out of the three chickens we have. For the second time now, she has laid an egg that is HUGE, even for her. The first picture below shows the size difference between what we usually get from her and what we got the other day. It is what we refer to as a "double-yolker" - I suppose it could also be considered twins...apparently if it were fertilized it is possible that you could get twin chicks - but it is very rare. Anyway, just thought I'd share these pictures - it's something new and fun.
