A mum was left stunned when a hen she saved from the slaughterhouse laid a giant egg – twice the size of a normal one.<br/><br/>Steph Carr, 30, said her two-year-old chicken Linda had produced the ‘massive egg’, which weighed a whopping 109g.<br/><br/>Eggs bought in supermarkets generally weigh around 50g.<br/><br/>The warren hen had previously failed to lay for over a week and appeared ‘slow on her feet’, leaving Steph worried.<br/><br/>But when the mum-of-three inspected the coop on June 2 at her allotment in Settle, North Yorks., she found the chicken had recovered after laying the huge egg.<br/><br/>Steph later turned the egg - a double-yoker - into a massive omelette that was then devoured by her kids and partner, Johnny Greenbank, 32.<br/><br/>She said: “I was like, ‘Oh my god!’ I think probably the whole allotment heard me.<br/><br/>\
