My silkie just started laying &her eggs are very small. I don't know if this is because she's young or just because of her breed. I would post a picture but i'm on my work computer.

Yup, the first few eggs are rather small, they are virgins what do you want! They have to get used to laying eggs!

for baking I use 2 silkie eggs for one large egg

LOL @ tallyho!


My concern is that we do a lot of baking and recipes are calibrated for large eggs.  I think the Silkies are gorgeous, but I might need to get chickies that lay larger eggs, unless I could just use 2 Silkie eggs to 1 large.  (Does that make sense?)

I even calculate quail eggs like that to bake and silkie eggs are much bigger than quails.lol.

I have an Ayam Cemani and a silkie, I can’t figure out which eggs the silkie lays. So it would be great if anyone could post a picture of a silkie egg.
