3.6m Omlet Chicken Run for sale, Brand New in Boxes, Milton Keynes (MK19)

[Lapinou]

One of our chickens has changed recently from laying one largeish egg per day, to one enormous one every few days...and I mean enormous. The last one was 115g.

 

Our other chicken we have just lost to egg binding. After treating her how we were advised to for an hour, we felt and massaged very carefully to see if we could help the egg along, and found it to be absolutely huge.

 

We are very concerned that our sole remaining chicken risks becoming egg bound herself laying such huge eggs, but is there anything we can do about it? Or anything we should be worried about? Why do they get so large?

 

They are/were both otherwise very healthy in all other things, and had laid daily (sometimes we got three eggs in one day from just the two of them!) good eggs for two years.

 

Thanks for any advice.
