Egg Size

Hi Everyone,
I've been logging on most days, but haven't had much news for a while. As you may recall I'm new to this. Thelma laid her first egg on the 23rd Jan. Louise was almost a month later on the 15th Feb. The eggs have been 63g on average. Anyway, Hubby's just rung coz it's his day off and he's collected two eggs, one of which is a massive 96g and apartently looks a bit like a torpedo. I've not seen it yet as I'm at work, but is this usual ? Is something wrong ?
Thelma and Louise seem happy, eat well, poo well, and Louise sits on my shoulder like a parrot !! So just wondering whether they get bigger as time goes on or is there some sort of deficiency.
Look forward hearing news. Ta

Kerry, Thelma and Louise.

Fanfare

It was a double yolker. We had a scrumptious mushroom omelette.

My, Aunty Sally, what a whopper!!

Have attached link for my piccies (although they don't do them justice as the photos have come out small).
