Extremely large eggs

[lhane]

Our hen is laying extremely large eggs (the size of my fist), sometimes with cracked shells. I am afraid they are going to get stuck. Is there anything we can do to help her? Is there any way to shrink the eggs to a more manageable size, perhaps XL, or large?

Wow! How about some pics!!

The smaller ones I would call large, and the med one I would call XL, and of course the huge one. I am looking for an ostrich in our coup!

Reducing water and protein in her feed might help because it takes lots of protein & water to make an egg but I'm just guessing here, I've never tried to REDUCE egg size.
Hopefully it's just a temporary glitch and her egg factory will straighten itself out before it leads to problems.
