Ouch!!! Talk about laying an egg
From the Lynden Tribune:Lynden hobby farm chicken lays massive egg
A Lynden chicken may become posthumously famous after laying an enormous and possibly record-breaking egg.
The egg laid by Thelma, an Araucana cross chicken owned by the Hamstra family, weighs just over 200 grams, about 7 ounces. Thelma died last Wednesday after laying the egg less than a week before on Thursday, May 22.
�We think it died from complications from the egg,� said Margaret Hamstra, whose fifth-grade son Jeff raised the chicken on their hobby farm on Kamm Road.
