Late Comming Eggs

I'm posting for a Friend. His Snow corn age 4 laid 36 eggs on the 10th or so of June. On the 14th she laid another and the yesterday she laid another. Now is this common or is there a problem?
 
Sounds like she might be having difficulty laying... I'd have a vet look her over and make sure she doesn't have any more eggs left in her... If she's laid them all, she'll be fine (just give her some rest and don't try to doubleclutch), otherwise the vet can help you get the remaining eggs out.

Darn! After laying 36 eggs, she is probably just TIRED! That would knock the stuffings out of any female. So she is passing the rest of them out as soon as she builds back enough strength to be able to do so.

I have had big females retain eggs for a LONG time and it didn't seem to bother them any. It's the smaller females that it can cause problems with blockages of the digestive track.

I had a big female indigo when I lived in Maryland that passed an old egg a year later before laying the current season's eggs. I never even knew she had it there. Didn't seem to bother her a bit, though.

YMMV, of course.
