Hi all!
I’ve scrolled through several posts trying to find an answer to this question but either missed it or didn’t scroll far enough.
I have a prod red that started laying a week ago. Interestingly enough, she’s laid every day for the last week, as well. One day was a two egg day but the shells were paper-thin and the inside was a little gelatinous. I expected her to take a break since my last flock certainly did not lay daily, but I’m sure that’s coming soon. Anyway, my question is about egg size and when eggs start becoming a little more substantial in size. I’ve weighed her eggs and compared to the egg charts I’ve seen posted on this site. All but one of her 8 eggs (if you include the two weird ones) have been “pee wee” size - 30-40 grams. The largest one so far has been 58 grams. I am sure her eggs won’t always stay pee wee, but I’m just wondering how long it may be before she regulates and they get a bit larger. She has access to oyster shell and is on All Flock feed.
Thanks!
