Their eggs will continue to get larger as the hens grow. Give them a couple of months to be full size. Congrats on your eggs! Isn't it fun??? Everytime I get a new egg layer is fun! I have a new one that squatted yesterday so am looking for new eggs soon!
Can you watch the nest? I have 10 chickens laying right now and I know who lays what. They all have different shades of browns or greens or blues and the two who lay white eggs have a different egg shape. I mark each egg with their initials and the date. I eat the oldest eggs first. I also have a chart for the month and know how many each hen laid during the month. That is why I know that my Barred Rock (only 18 months old) has only laid 4 eggs all month! I see her on the nest but nothing is coming out. I will have to figure out what is going on with her. She has always been one of my top egg layers.
i finally got my first eggs yaaaay! i gave 2 BA and 2 BSL that are 22 weeks but dont know whose laying yet the eggs are tiny but they definitely laying i gave 4 white leghorns same age shouldnt b long
I tried that but it didn't speed up the process and if an egg was laid it was on the floor then cracked.
Mine rebel if I lock them in. They lay more eggs when they are free to come and go! hahah....they just seem happier to free range and come back to lay their eggs in the nest!
Congrats!!!! My BAs are about 25-26 weeks and I still have no eggs.
