My girls just started laying last week, now have 4 out of the 6 laying almost daily. It was a long wait for eggs

I got 3 eggs from 3 chickens....a question, the white egg layer has big eggs the other two chickens have small brown eggs, why small??

If they just started laying , they may get bigger. I have both white and brown egg layers and they seem to take turns. Sometimes some of my brown eggs are HUGE and other weeks the white eggs seem to be bigger.

Egg size is primarily dictated by age and breed. They usually start quite small and after a few months get a decent size(for the breed) and sometimes get bigger after each molt.

Other than 'pullet eggs', the breed is the biggest dictator. Bantams lay small eggs too.

I got 5/8 but one was so big it nearly killed my hen. Here's the pictures:

This is the egg next to a jumbo laid by my RSL.

This is the egg that was inside it. Yup, an egg in an egg.
I didn't get a good picture of what was inside the egg, but it had two yokes. I scrambled them up and it made a huge snack for the girls.

Ouch! I've only had a barred rock lay a double-yolker once, and that nearly killed her. RIP Pipsqueak *dog killed her and 8 others*

On a happier note: 6/10 today 3 took a break and the welsummer won't lay.

What makes you think it nearly killed her?
