Giants eggs!!

[Jmerilli]

Once or twice a week my 23 week old sapphire gem pullet lays the biggest eggs I’ve ever seen. Is this an issue? Could there be a problem? In the picture the one to the left is a normal large egg she normally lays. The one on the right is the monster egg she lays occasionally. All the monster eggs have been double yokes. Is this a problem? Or is this normal? For more background she started laying at 18 weeks. I feed them an all flock feed and supplement calcium with oyster shell. Thanks for the info!!

She's probably laying those because she's a newer layer. Give her some more time and see if she stops laying them.
It can be a problem she's laying those, she could get egg bound.
I would get some calcium citrate +D3 tablets and give her one tablet once a day until her eggs are smaller. Just pop the tablet in her mouth and she'll swallow it.

It's normal for some birds...and not likely anything to worry about.
Those bigguns may stop after awhile.

Swung by to check after a noisy day on the nesting box left behind this monster egg. This pullet laid last of her trio, and there was a double yolker a handful of times when she finally started. I'm worried that she is going to burn herself out or prolapse if she keeps doing this periodically.

Sapphire gems lay a really big egg. But I hear they do not live as long because they are a layer chicken.
