How long till the pullet eggs increase in size?!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Hello All!
On the day my six "little girls" turned 18 weeks old, I got my first adorable little egg ~ it was so exciting!  Since then, my three "big girls" (who don't lay all that much) and the six young ones have been cranking out the eggs, and I'm getting 4-5 per day so far.  My question is, how long does it typically take for the eggs to reach full size?  Although I'm not sure exactly who is laying what, the little girls (two Red Sex Links and 4 Black Austrolorps) are now 22 weeks old and many of the eggs are still very small.  I'm not concerned, just wondering!

 

Thanks for your help and advice!  : )
