The Honest Courtesan

Some of y’all probably get a bit tired of pictures of eggs,either in or out of the shell.  But when one has chickens, one gets to see the full gamut of eggs: large, small, white, tan, brown, green, hard-shelled, weak-shelled, and kinda funky.  Grace likes egg sandwiches, but she recently asked me to start using the small eggs for them because the large ones are really more than she wants.  Well, since some of the pullet eggs are starting to get bigger, I used one the other day and was surprised to see a double yolk, as you can see here; the reason it was surprising is that all the double-yolked eggs I’ve seen before are unusually large, and in fact can generally be identified by the fact that they are unusually large.  So all I can figure here is that tiny eggs are still the norm for the young leghorns, so the seemingly normal-sized egg I used here was not actually a normal-sized egg at all, but rather an extra-large pullet egg with a double yolk.  Maybe that’s a distinction without a difference, but I thought it was fascinating.  Of course, some of y’all may conclude from this that I’m easily amused, but in my moral philosophy I fully support your right to think that.  And also your right to be a bit tired of pictures of eggs.
