egg size difference

[wesleyzhere]

hi my 8 month old easter egger just started laying eggs one every other day. what worries me is the large egg size difference i am sending pic. the first one was small, the next 2 large and today a small one. i feed them purina laying pellets plus give them oyster shell. they free range for about 8 hrs a day and eat greens while running around. is this size different normal?

Probably double yokers the bigger ones not uncommon on new layers

It's pretty common for new layers to have all sorts of issues with their eggs for a bit. Give her a while to get all the glitches worked out, and she should start being more consistent with her egg size.

Yeah, the Large eggs are probably double yolks. It pretty much a given with new layers, some breeds/types more so than others.
Early layers before 5 months usually lay small/Peewee size eggs to start.
My Golden Comets were all laying by 19 weeks and gave me a lots of small eggs for a few weeks. . Then quickly got bigger .with a lot of double yolks. .
My Barred Rocks were all laying by 23 weeks, 4 weeks later than the Golden Comets. I got very few double yolks from them.
I do love them double yolks, but I do feel bad for the Pullet.
Your Egger will lay single yolk eggs when her systems stabilize. How long? I don't know, never had an Easter Egger. My Comets laid double yolks for months, the Rocks less than a month.
My Comets are 44 months old and my Rocks are 16 months. GC

I'd guess the bigger ones are double yolkers.......or you have 2 birds laying.
