How big are your bantam eggs

 

[Miss Lydia]

Cochin bantam egg next to a Runner egg

 

[Beaglegal]

That’s not too tiny, I have a fully grown BO who lays eggs about that size. Unless the runner eggs are smaller than other duck eggs

 

[Miss Lydia]

Runners lay average size duck eggs They are just starting up my 3 youngest so they may get some larger. I have 4 Salmon Faverolles who are LF and their eggs aren't too much larger than the Bantams. My OEGB hen lays a nice little snack egg. She hasn't started back laying yet this year. So far only 1 of my chicken are laying and it's my Cochin Bantam my youngest
Just turned 8months. .

The runner egg color is pretty. My Rouen and mixes lay a white egg that stains easily

Ah ha! Mystery solved!! I have one layer who lays a whiter egg..it’s my Rouen!! Thanks for the info! I thought it was her, by process of elimination, but wasn’t sure! Got 8 eggs today again

it’s apparently a dominant trait. It’s not my favorite color for eggs

No kidding. If I had a egg like the Cayuga egg you posted, white wouldn't do it for me at all. I know their eggs get lighter through the season, but at anytime are they actually white when laid?

I guess I will have to let you know. I have only owned ducks since we moved to our farm 6 months ago, and this duck only has laid since Saturday.
