So my little Fancy hens (their dad was our late, lamented rooster "Fancy") started laying eggs last month. They're still on the small side. (My wife, who's doing Weight Watchers, calls them "1 point" eggs.) The last layers I raised from chicks were Brahmas and it doesn't seem that we waited so long to get a biggish (sometimes really big!) egg out of them.

This is Fancy:

Mom is a Golden Comet.

Can I expect these young girls will start putting out decent-sized eggs eventually?
 
When my girls first started laying the eggs where smaller then robins eggs. Now they are decent sized. I t will take a little time for them to be decent
 
I am supposed to get Large eggs from my hens who have been laying now for a month. However, I usually get med. eggs. Once in a while I do get an egg that is huge. My last one was the full size of my palm. I swore it hurt her!
I was wondering myself, if I'll get consitancy or is it normal for us to get varied sizes?
