Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

They could be fertile this time. Did she lay them in her nest box? How do you have them set up for incubating?

Fertile eggs are much more firm than infertile ones, generally. They feel much more like ping pong balls, and the infertile ones feel like water balloons that are only halfway full. Good luck with this clutch, I hope they turn out well for you!

Is it possible that you're friend's female just started to ovulate for the first time? Nature doesn't really give a crap about seasons when they're growing up...if the body is ready, it's ready any season it wants to be.
Also, in warmer areas, it's possible to breed year-round, although it's not recommended in my opinion...There are certain "tricks" that one can use to stimulate a gecko to ovulate.
Are your eggs still kind of soft? How long are you leaving the male and the female together? I have to leave them together for at least a month before I get any good results from my girls.

Some eggs are just different sizes, that's totally normal. Generally, the infertile ones are a little smaller, but the rule of thumb is to incubate everything until you know for sure the egg is bad, so keep incubating your eggs. The only way to tell if the gecko is a giant is to know the genetics. One or both of the parents have to carry the gene. It doesn't only have to do with size and weight.
