I have a young Boschvelder who has been laying for a month or so. She's smaller than her sisters but has been laying nicely. In the last week two or three times, she's been struggling to lay but isn't egg bound. Her eggs are getting bigger and she does lay after a couple of hours but really struggles and seems in pain, crying out and clearly pushing and straining. The other chickens completely freak out, partly because they all share the same nest (despite there being 4 to choose from) and I'm sure partly because they are distressed seeing her. I'm worried that she's damaging herself by laying eggs that are maybe too large for her? Any help appreciated.
