Long oval eggs?

About 3 weeks ago I brought home a mix of 8 hens and 1 rooster. Non of them were laying in the first week, but with their new hen house and new flock, I assumed it would take them a while to get settled in and start laying. By the second week, 3 of them had started laying almost every day.
And now it’s the 3rd week and finally the Barred Rock has started to lay. She has laid 2 eggs so far, but both of them have been very long. If she continues to lay these long eggs, should I be concerned?
You can see in the picture how long her eggs are. The picture with 4 eggs has the Barred Rock eggs in the middle with two of my other hens eggs on the outside.
