Large double yolk layer

[Reedo5]

I have a Rhode Island who is laying like extra large eggs which have been consistent double yolks an it takes her a while to lay it which is awesome but I am wondering if this will shorten her laying time or life span passing such big eggs.

Some hens will lay double yolk eggs, especially during the first year of laying. It generally stops after a few months. I only see them sporadically in older hens. I don't think it affects their overall life span, but could affect their over all lifetime laying.
