I know! I feel bad for her. If egg size increases she is going to have really hard time laying! Maybe the size will decrease

ya, I will see how here egg laying patterns continue and watch her closley especially if it continues, wouldnt want to chance her getting egg bound and not realize it

My camera lens not to good, but these are my 2 new EE's. I love their colors and 1 has green legs and 1 has blue, hoping for the same color eggs. Don't know how old they are, but their not laying yet. So glad to find an EE thread. I have 1 other EE that's just over a yr old and lays xlarge green eggs. Need to come up with names for these 2 ladies.

the fact that she lays double yokers dosent mean she will become egg bound. I havent ever had a chicken become egg bound. And I have had chickens lay double yokers. I dont really know if that means they are more likley to egg bound (but I think it would) so i watch for it just in case. Signs are swollen warm abdomen. They also tend to slow down and lay around, but not always
