I have and flock of 20 week old BRs and RIR hens.
They’ve been laying for about 3 weeks but this morning 3 out of 5 eggs were much larger than normal and one had blood on the shell. Is there a reason they would all suddenly start laying really big eggs? Could they be laying double yolks? This is a photo of one next to a normal sized egg for my flock.

Just cracked one they are double yolks! It’s odd that half my hens decide to lay double yolks at the same time. Can’t really complain though!
