I was told Brahma's were poor layers.

Yes, mine lay small eggs. I was hoping they would get a little bigger but we are at 1 month of laying and the size remains the same
 
My brahma's eggs are quite large. I thought they would be smaller. I guess it all depends on the hen???
 
I have 7 light brahmas who are just over 2 years old. Since they started laying, they have been very good layers and their egg size has increased over time - some of the eggs now look a little too big to be comfortable! With 7 light brahmas and 5 speckled sussex, we typically get 8-10 eggs a day - though this has really fallen off as they are now going through their first ever molt (down to 4-7 eggs/day). However, they laid consistently throughout their first winter with minimal light supplementation. The egg colors vary from pale brown/pinkish to a dark brown and one girl lays speckled brown eggs. They are VERY calm.
