We were once told this happens when a hen cannot control the pelvic muscles and that if it continues then she's on her last legs.
Would be interesting to find out if that's actually true.

Well I hope not. We have had these POL girls about 2 months. Mixed hybrids

Incubate it and see if you get a dinosaur.

One of mine lays a wrinkled egg every day, and has done for about three years i think - normal sized though. I don't know which one it is and they are mixed ages from 2 years to 7 years. 8 eggs a day from 9 oldies isn't bad.

we don't get wrinkled eggs but every 5 weeks or so we do get a massive one like yours...also from a hybrid but not sure which one. Then next day all back to normal for another 5 weeks! sometimes the mega-egg is a double yolker but not always. Im not seeing any signs of my mega-egg-layer popping her clogs yet!
