A BIG egg from Lucy!

As you know, Lucy has been laying some pretty odd eggs. She's getting near the end of her reproductive stage even though she is only 4-1/2 years old. She's not any purebred - just the last one left of six chicks that I bought at Tractor Supply that many years ago.

After laying the little eggs, she plopped out this one:

 It was pure white and heavy, but the shell felt like fine grit sandpaper! I checked her butt to make sure she wasn't scratched or bleeding. She wasn't, but I bet she felt that one coming out!


 Here it is next to one of  Lavern's eggs:
 

Pretty soon she will stop laying eggs all-together. She's always been a good girl - she deserves a nice long retirement!
