Lavender Orpington started lying eggs

[jctocororo]

My 6 months old lavender Orpington just started laying eggs. I was surprised at the size of her eggs … they are as small as seramas’ eggs. Hopefully as she gets more mature her eggs will increase in size. I have two other mixed breeds (RIR mixed and white rock mixed ) and their eggs are regular size . The RIR produced small eggs when she started but not as small as the Orpington’s, and from time to time she lays a small one.

Congratulations!
It's typical for eggs to be small at first. She's a cute girl.

@jctocororo My lavender orpington just started laying and I was shocked at how tiny her eggs are! Only 2 so far but so wee! How long did it take for your girls egg size to increase?

About 5 months but the size increase is nothing to brag about … they are still small when I compare to my other two (small white rock mixed and RIR mixed)… the white rock lays humongous eggs

My EE I had (who passed a couple months ago) laid jumbo sized eggs. Her sister lays medium sized and my 2 azure blue lay large eggs. I was just expecting more from these orpingtons! I have 1 other lav orp who hasn't started laying yet and 2 black orps. I wonder if the small egg thing is a lavender orp thing?!
