Is there a reason why there so big?

Often when pullets first start laying it takes their system a while to get the process all ironed out and all sorts of weird eggs can happen. Wait till the first time you get a "rubber" one with no shell.

When one of my pullets laid their first egg it was really soft shelled and mushy. That is normal right?

As long as it's not a chronic thing I wouldn't worry. It takes a bit for their bodies to get the process nailed down. Even in their prime an odd egg can happen now and then.

ok, thanks! I am pretty sure its ok too! My 1 year old barred rock had been acting strange a couple weeks ago, then she laid a soft shelled egg the next day. It is laying hard shelled eggs now and its really active. so i think there is nothing to worry about.

Here is a couple pics of mine.

They were laid by my easter egger, buff orpington and barred rock.
