small eggs

[klmclain1]

I'm so excited! My 16-week-old White Leghorns have started laying! I have 3 of those, and 5 Black Australorps (same ages). So far, I've been able to identify 3 in 3 days from one of the girls, and 1 today from another. The eggs are pretty tiny though! Is that just a characteristic of the Leghorn eggs??

they will get bigger

Yes, they need more practice. In no time you will barely be able to shut the lid on an egg carton.

Not familiar with leghorns, but all pullet eggs start off quite small (and oh so cute!)...they will get bigger by them time they're hens.

Cool! I had no idea that they would get bigger! Now I'm really excited.

Right now I'm having a hard time envisioning even a small omelet with my 4 eggs! They really are adorable!! Thank you so much for the information.
