1st egg or 1st after molt?

[nutmeg259]

When a hen resumes laying after a molt do the eggs start out smaller? Today there was a very small egg when I went out to collect. The older gals in the flock went through their first molt this fall and a few haven't resumed laying. I have two EE pullets that I expected to start laying months ago.... Either one of my EE lays a plain egg OR one of my older hens laid a tiny one. Thoughts?

We've just finished our first molt. When my hens resumed laying, the eggs were of the same size (or even slightly larger) than when they left off. I would suspect the "EE".

That's the gamble with EEs. Never know just what kind of egg you're going to get

EE's can definitely lay brown eggs. We've got three EE's - one lays brown eggs; one lays blue eggs; one lays green eggs. We also find that all of ours lay roughly the same size egg post-molt. I'd vote for first egg from the EE.
