I have two Isabella Leghorns, I've posted about them on here before. My question is this: They've been laying really well for about the last 2 months, and I'd like to hatch some eggs from them. They are about 7 months old. Their eggs are on the small side. Is it okay to try and incubate these? I'm not experienced enough to know if the eggs are small because they're still fairly young, or because that's just how Leghorn eggs are. I just have a hard time seeing a full sized chick hatching out of those tiny eggs! Any info or opinions are welcome.
 
Do you have a rooster? If they are fertile, i would go ahead and incubate them. They are small because your hens are pullets. A full size chick will still hatch.
Yep, i do have a roster. I have no doubt the eggs are fertile. I was just wondering if a chick could develop to full size in that small of a space.
