Egg size and hatching

[ltimmermans]

I have a some barred rock and RIR s that I have been collecting hatching eggs from for a few days. Alot of the eggs are in the Medium range. Are these too small to be used as hatching eggs ? Thanks this is the first time I have really tried to incubate eggs.

Size doesn't make any difference just so long as they are fertile.

I have noticed one thing pullet eggs are harder to hatch. IMO. I think it is b/c the membrane it thicker.

These are 1 and 2 yr old birds.

Then I would not worry about it one bit. Good luck.
