First eggs question.

[DaveNH]

Some of our Wyandottes just started to lay this week.
We have one that has layed three eggs, one a day.
So far all of her eggs had double yolks.
The other layers are laying much smaller eggs with a single yolk.
I hope this is normal and will she settle down and lay single yolks?

This was the week we been waiting for. My wife and son and even myself
have caught the fever and really enjoy this new hobby.
We have 12 hens and one dark Brahma roo. He doesn't crow
as much or as loud as I thought he would but he's young too.

Thanks in advance

I'm in the same position. My understanding is that it takes about a month for all the machinery to produce uniform eggs. At the beginning, you might get double yolks (our BRs are producing these), triple yolks, no yolks, even shell-less eggs. It will all even out. So they say.

In the meantime, enjoy those double yolks; they're extra yummy!

You get all sorts of weird eggs when they first start laying. It's all part of their bodies adjusting to laying.
