Egg sizes over time

[Flowerpott]

I would love to be a part of this thread. My Leghorn started laying last week. We're on our 5th egg today since last Wednesday. I'm including the soft shelled broken egg that she expelled on day 2 following her scuffle with the dog
I only took a picture of her first egg because well duh I was thrilled.
But starting with today's egg I'll begin to document here if that is ok?
And hopefully my other two ladies (rhode island red&black australorp) will begin to lay soon! They're squatting pretty hard for me so fingers crossed.

Sure join along. I am just going to go to weekly/monthly measurements. I do date my eggs every day just so I can compare sizes in the egg cartoons for myself.

Can you post a pic, or link, of what tool you are using to measure eggs?
