did I make a mistake?? please help

[winekntrychicks]

for all of of seasoned flock masters out there; a question just occured to me. I have a bantam roo in with my regular size girls. If he is able to fertilze eggs, will the girls lay regular size eggs or bantam size eggs????

I'm pretty sure that the rooster has not impact on the size of a chicken's egg. It will impact the chick's DNA if you hatch them out, but that's it.

Yelp, Angiechick is right. The egg size will not change. Just the DNA of the offspring.....

Yep, regardless if there is a big roo or a little roo fertilizing the eggs, they will be the same size as the eggs would be had there been no rooster around.

Huh, thanks for asking the question - there always seems to be one more thing to puzzle out.
