Aviso: grandes doesn't become gran before plural nouns. It does before either masculine or feminine nouns if they are singular.
gran libro=great book
gran sorpresa=great surprise

I'm a bit confused but your answer, Q. What's wrong with "Grandes ponedoras"? In this case, how about "magníficas ponedoras", or "ponedoras extraordinarias"? - Gekkosan, Aug 20, 2010
Wouldn't "Grandes ponedoras" be "large" instead of "great?" I would have thought "Gran ponedoras." - --Mariana--, Aug 20, 2010
No, "grandes" can be interpreted either way in Spanish. "Gran" however simply does not work. Whatever adjective you use, must be in plural form. - Gekkosan, Aug 20, 2010
