So my pekin that started laying 2 weeks ago have been laying almost every day.

Problem is she's only laid 4 eggs that are duck-egg-sized. The rest are smaller than chicken eggs.

Sounds like not that big of a problem and she should soon start laying duck-sized eggs on a regular basis right? Well, here is a cause of concern, all her duck-sized eggs she has laid are double-yolkers.

Not that I'm hatching any of them, but I much prefer egg white to egg yolks. Is this usually the normal laying pattern of newly-laying ducks? Or do I have to accept she'll always lay double-yolkers like this?
 
Sometimes there are ducks that will lay double yolkers every now and then, but usually it's just what happens with new layers. Once her system works itself out she should lay normal size eggs with one yolk. It could take a few weeks or a few months.
