Black Wyandotte Laying Dinky Eggs

[dalasgalas]

So my newest chicken, Penguin O'Tool, just started laying two weeks ago. She lays about 6 dark brown eggs a week and they are tiny. Tinier than her friend Pidgy McNugget, who is a bantam sized chicken.

Penguin is as large as my easter egger. I read that Wyandottes lay smaller than average eggs but are they supposed to be tinier than a bantam egg?

Egg size will increase as she gets further into her laying cycle.

I'm thinking Penguin is happy about the tiny eggs but I'm looking forward to eating full sized eggs. Although her dinky eggs are yummy.

Do you have any pics? I just want to see what Peguin O' Tool and her eggs look like. I am thinking of getting some wyandotte pullets in the spring.

Sourland has it right. They'll get larger. Don't be surprised if you get some funky eggs too as her system adjusts into it's normal laying cycle. She'll get there.

I'll take some pics tonight. She is very sweet.
