A rural Spearfish woman found an extra large surprise Thursday.

Sue Heberlig has about 90 chickens and runs Shiloh Farm Eggs near Spearfish.

She was collecting eggs from her chicken coop and unknowingly picked up a whopper of egg.

“It was hilarious,” Heberlig said when she found the egg later.

While gathering eggs she was in a hurry. It wasn't until she was washing them that she noticed the size difference.

“It was then that I realized I had a gigantic egg. It wouldn't even fit in the jumbo size egg cartons,” she said.

A normal large egg weighs about two ounces. This egg tops the scales at 4.8 ounces.
