   OK- My new hens have been laying for about a month. The eggs are still small. These hens should be laying medium eggs- Buff Orpingtons/Golden Comet/RIRs - how long does it take for new layers to start laying regular sized eggs?

   A lot of it depends on the hen, the breed, diet, temperature, and other factors. Size is determined by weight, are you weighing them? Here are to different sites with egg weights
