Bit of a commotion outside this afternoon. Delilah was crowing like mad, and Scarlett was going bananas. Assuming Delilah was announcing an egg, I went outside to find....
...her attacking Milly, who had got into the Bigees area.
I separated them, and rescued Milly. She looks OK, no obvious cuts or anything. Then I went to check the nest box to see if Delilah has laid. And she had. The biggest egg I've ever seen. I brought it in to weigh it (94g) and went to register it on the Omlet Egg Leader Board...but found that the smallest big egg there is 100g.
Anyway, it is still **ENORMOUS**
Here's a pic. For comparison I've included one of Delilah's usual eggs which, at 62g, is classed as "large".
