Egg sizes!

Both Orps and Rocks lay large to extra large eggs. Try some food coloring in the vent so you know who lays what.

For egg sales, you can get cartons for extra large and jumbo eggs. Sometimes there is no way to close a carton for some of my eggs.

Good to know!

I did find some jumbo cartons, luckily. They mess with my egg packaging system, though, :lau
 
My barred rock lays huge eggs.
I love the tiny eggs from my bantam hen. I'd like to get more bantams and start a tiny egg company.
This pic shows the barred rock egg next to a new pullet egg which is about the same size as the bantam's.

Here are 4 eggs, from left to right, new pullet, sebright bantam, sussex, leghorn...the barred rock's are larger than the leghorn, but she lays less than anyone else....
