What size chicken laid that?

This is a selection of the clutch of eggs collected this morning.  Lovely petite olive and blue eggs from our fancy chicken friends, dark glossy speckled eggs from the Marans and something which although it was found in a nesting box, is surely not a hen's egg?

Well of course it is, we have a couple of larger feathered chickens who not only lay like clockwork everyday but have a propensity to the double yolker - when you hear violent, crazed, squawking coming from the hen house it's a sprint to be the first there to pluck out the huge warm egg and heading back to the house to make a fried egg sandwich.  Happy easter indeed.
