A little over a week ago one of my RIR laid her first egg. She hasn't laid again until today. The first egg was very small, and the one she laid today is a little larger, but still very small. Is this normal? Steven
Yep, pullets often lay small eggs when they first start laying and then over time they should get up to their regular size.
Congrats on your first egg My hens first eggs were very small, but they only took a couple days between 1st and 2nd egg.
Congrats on the first eggs!! I too got my first eggs just over a week ago and they are kind of small. The first little chicken is starting to lay just a little bigger eggs now. The good part is tht she must have kick started the other hens to start laying because yesterday I got 2 eggs and today I got 3 eggs. They are on a roll now I guess.
Thanks! The first egg was brown, but the second egg was brown and white. They are normal inside, just very small.
Congrats!!! She'll get in the laying cycle... which may still be a little slow with the days shortening now!
