Hey I've been searching to no avail... Does anyone have pictures of full grown hen eggs all next to each other across different breeds?
It's be nice to so the size difference in say a buff next to an Easter Egger next to a Rhode Island and so on. Anyone have or have a link to something like this?

I'm thinking of turning my flock into easter Eggers and getting rid of some brown egg layers I have and wondering when they're full grown how big the blue eggs will be compared to what I have now
 
I took this photo to explain to my sister how much smaller my Buff eggs are than my Red's. It really depends on the individual chicken and it's breeding line, but as with anything, generalizations can be made.

The Production Red egg is the larger one, the other two are from my BO mixes (their BO mother produced the same size eggs). I believe my Red's eggs are standard "Large" sized, the same size as most from the grocery. My sister's Golden Comets produce Large and Extra large eggs.

Thanks! I wish you had a full grown easter egg or Ameraucana egg to put near them
 
Our Easter egger eggs are HUGE bigger than grocery store eggs, sometimes barely fit in the carton. But especially with EE's it will depend on their breeding line since they are a bit of a mutt.

That's my wonder. We got our easter Eggers from ideal poultry so idk the breeding line. So far as pullets they're laying constant but I'm curious on how big the eggs will be when they get bigger. I sell a lot of them and the people like the bigger ones. So naturally I want big eggs from the EE if I only keep them in my flock
 



This is a little lol for us ........... Normal teaspoon, cockatiel's first egg and third egg followed by a hamburg hens egg.

My EE's lay eggs as large as any of the other large egg layers I have. They are hard to fit in the store cartons that say "large eggs" on them.
 


Here's what we have now - All my brown eggs are full grown either BO, BR, RI, or Brahma. The picture may not do it justice but the easter eggers eggs are probably half the size of the brown ones. They are still Pullets so I know they'll get bigger, so it made me worry theyd stay small
