Got my first egg yesterday! I was about to give up. My chickens are 5 months old. The eggs are so small. Is that normal?

It was normal for mine to start the first egg small then to normalize about the 3rd egg and some chicken breeds take longer to mature

Here is a pic of one of my first and a super jumbo and extra large.

My first eggs were around 1 1/2 ounces, 43 grams. My largest 3 1/3 ounces, 95 grams. My Golden Comets at 10 months average mostly extra large 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 ounces, 64 to 71 grams. GC

My 18 week old Easter Egger laid the first egg of my 6 pullets yesterday. VERY exciting! It was good size, green, and hard shelled. None today, though. She laid it in the pen even though the nests were ready and had a ceramic egg in each. They'll figure it out.
