Australorp chicken laying tiny eggs

[Poultrypassion29]

Hi guys, I wanted to check with yall. We purchased a few layer hens a month or two ago and I've noticed that one of my australorps have been laying tiny eggs. I'll put a picture of the eggs. The one on the left is a egg from one of our other layers and the one of the right is the tiny egg layer by our australorp. Anyone know a reason for this? These layers we bought were bigger than the ones we bought before, the supplier said it was because they got a bigger rooster so idk if that could contribute to anything...

Would you be able to put a quarter or something else uniform size in the shot and take a new picture for comparison?

Hopefully someone more experienced than myself will have an idea, but it's hard to have a good frame of reference if we are comparing her "tiny" egg to a... Possibly mutant giant rooster egg?? lol. Thanks!

Size of the bird doesn't always correlate to size of eggs. How old is the bird laying the smaller eggs, and/or how long since she's begun laying? If it's a younger bird/newer layer, it may take some time for her to ramp up full sized eggs.

I just listened to a podcast about this on Bawk Talk. May help provide some insight for you.
