Sometimes our chickens lay what we like to call Super Eggs.
They usually have a double yolk. One time I found one with a triple yolk.
Can you guess which one of these eggs is the Super Egg?
Here, let me label it for you. Did you guess correctly?
  This is a series of posts that I wrote back in 2006 on living with less stuff. Check them out:

That chicken is one big show off huh? I remember getting a dozen eggs a while back and every single one of them was a double yolker. I was making omelets … crackin’ the whole bunch and I would squeal with delight as one after another had 2 yolks. My family thought I was nuts.
It really doesn’t take much to thrill me.
I just need to say…. Fantastic!
Cool! Double yolks bring you good luck. Triple yolks triple your luck or you’re going to have triplets! I forget which! hehehe
Was that chicken just showing off? Did the other chickens have “egg envy”
Ah that brings back memories of my child hood growing up on a farm. I’ve seen a few “double-yolkers” and “triple-yolkers” and all I can think of when I see them is “ouch, poor chicken!”
WOW!
What are you feeding her? Because you need to give some to the chicken who layed egg number 3 in the carton.
WOW! What an egg! I’m going to show it to the hens next door that I chicken sit for. We’ve had several double-yokers while taking care of them, but not a triple.
I liken double yolk eggs to giving birth to 10lb babies. Sometimes a girl just can’t help it! I should know!
I originated with Ree but I am so enjoying your site. My dear brave husband also climbed the tree for bees, made a bee box and all. He did not however, have a suit but tried bandana, double long sleeves and gloves – paintbrush too. Well, he was so darned proud of himself, that is until he realized how many times he had been stung. Benadryl and baking soda for him. We had the bees for a long time, then they decided it was time to move on. ALSO > > > we now know what to do about “pasty butt” next time it happens. Hmm, is it weird that I am willing to do this?
Thanks for the entertainment.
Hey, is that giant egg from the chicken with pasty butt???
That’s one giant egg–and very clever of the chick to lay it already emblazed with your logo.

Where’s spellcheck when you need it?!
Ouch.

Damn! That must have hurt laying it!
Ow!
You are funny!
Holy crap. Bionic chicken laying, Chicken Dr! What have you been feeding those chickens?!
What a different life than I lead! I can’t imagine dealing with eggs, other than at the grocery store. It’s fun to read about though.
How funny. On of our chickens just laid their first super egg the other day, and I had to blog about it.
Here’s the link if your interested.
