So my eggs are usually pretty set in size, and it is hard to tell in the photo but one of my hens missed a day (unusual for her) and I assumed it was because it was cold and maybe she’d slow her laying as I am used to raising chickens in Florida, and now in the Nashville area so it has been in the 20s at night lately. The next day she laid this mammoth egg. This batch(?) of chickens is young so I getting to know them still. Should I be concerned for any reason about this, or is it possible she is still growing and is just going to lay Jumbo sized eggs in the future?

    I’ve have a few breeds. White Plymouth rocks (that look similar to leghorns) I do have. I’m actually having a hard time remembering which hen laid that egg. I had 3 sisters I called the weird sisters, which were supposed to be all “easter eggers” so they had greenish/bluish eggs. But 1 of the 3 sisters would lay larger pale eggs unlike the other 2, but came in the same clutch. It may have been her. Also have a rhode island Red, who lays double yolks sometimes that are larger. This post was a year ago, so hard to say
