Extended pullet eggs

[homesteading101]

I have 4 brahmas and 3 olive eggers that started laying around 5-6 months. It's been about 3 months and they're still laying pullet eggs. They've laid big eggs but back to pullet size. Never had this happen before I've read it's natural, but is the time length normal?

I wouldn’t be concerned by it. I’ve had quite a few pullets go through phases like that when they first start laying. If they were laying pullet eggs for several months straight I might be concerned.

Pretty normal. They'll lay bigger as they get older.
It can take days or weeks or months for a bird to get up to their 'normal' size.
