Eye-watering egg

Scarlett hadn't laid for three days, despite spending time in the nesting box. Her eggs started out at 38g, and recently she's been laying eggs at 51g.

This afternoon I checke the nestbox, and there was a huge, torpedo shaped egg in the nestbox. It weighed 78g. It's enormous, it's like two eggs merged together.

All I can think when I look at it is "Ouch!".
