Hi Marie and all my other fellow Californians too! I am in Hesperia CA ! I have the small breed chickens as well you will fall in love with them Marie. To cute for words and smarter than anything! Their eggs will get bigger over time as they grow. In the beginning 2 of their eggs equals 1 regular egg My grandma says they used to call them pullet eggs in the old days. I am really sorry about the passing of your pugs. Hugs! Tammie
