My Aracaunas have started laying! How big should the eggs be?

[Birch Run Farm]

Araucanas don't lay the biggest of eggs but I can say they are very persistant layers. They pretty much match my red stars for production. I get a blue double yolker now and then. They are pretty impressive!

A recent pic...

Mostly araucana.

Great egg pic's from both of you..

Guitartists, that egg is long..maybe they will widen up, you know a few years ago people use to say and think you'd hatch all roo's from long eggs..however its not true and just a folk story, of course there may be a few out there that may still think this way..lol

Here's a couple egg pic's from us.

egg pics from a few years ago

Guitarists, your Ameraucana eggs are gorgeous! Just the color I am hoping to someday get from my flock, but I have feed store Ameraucanas. Do all of your birds lay eggs that color??

Great pics! Birch Run... the lighting on your pic is gorgeous! As are the eggs

LMAO I don't know! So far as I can tell... only one of my 4 hens are laying

My EE came from frizzledhen's EEs.... she had been breeding them for some time for egg color.... I don't think she has them anymore though

But I hope to breed the hen I have to my Ameraucana roo for some more EEs to add to my flock

She lays such a nice egg color and size wise... plus she lays almost an egg a day
