my laying hens have been laying apx an egg a day each hen for well over a month now. Might have one or two not laying or not laying as often we have 18 laying hens and get apx 16 eggs a day.

My question is the size of the egg has begun to change to these enormous eggs HUGE to big to fit in even a xl egg carton when we crack the eggs they are laying double yolks again. is this normal behavior for young hens to bounce back and forth w/ laying the double yolks and for the eggs to be that big.

2 out of 16 eggs EVERY day for the past week have been HUGE.

RR hens feeding them layers mash and crumble mixed 50/50 , giving some garden scraps and fresh sweet corn and fresh not dried field corn.

Is any of this bad/good just looking for advice
