Tiny Eggs

We are new to having chickens, and they live in a home with chicken run in our backyard.
Our grandson gave us 5 large hens last summer: one all black, one aracauna, one barred rock, one white "something" & a brown "something." Later the same grandson brought a little mille fleur bantam (Little Bit). The big ones persecuted her, so we went to a Mexican family & they gave us 2 smallish, wild, streamlined hens, who are great fliers, to be companions to Little Bit. I haven't identified their breed, but they came from a big flock that all looked & acted alike. Now, our little flock has settled down and is quite compatible and laying well; but someone is occasionally laying a tiny egg, a little bigger than a robin's egg. Does anyone else get eggs that small? Little Bit lays some that are bigger than that. Maybe she's laying 2 different sizes.(Obviously, someone is! I'm not really concerned; I just didn't know what else to name the "New Member Thread.")

I found BackYardChicken when I googled "are potato peels good for chickens?" I liked what I found on your web site so joined BYC. I expect to learn a lot by browsing & searching it.

Little hen sometime have little eggs

Bantam (small) breeds will generally lay smaller eggs than full sized hens. However when a pullet(young hen) is just beginning to lay eggs, they can start out very small and over the passing of time they will get bigger till their reach normal size for the breed.

G’Day from down under maudies8gang Welcome!

I loved your intro! When we first started out in chickens we had ‘white chickens’ and ‘brown chickens’

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends
