Ouch! Bantam egg

[droy1028]

My bantam laid her first egg today, which is large in comparison to her body. I find it strange my "larger breed" chicken eggs are similar size to the bantam egg. If I'm not mistaken, the first few clutches of eggs for "large breed" chickens are slightly smaller as they need time to mature. This bantam got the short end of the stick for her first if that is true! Her's is the white (she's Golden Sebright) to the right, compared to the brown egg from my BSL.

Ouch, indeed - that girl is an overachiever.

I thought my bantam eggs were large for my girls too. Ouch

She wanted her first egg to look good!

Wonders if that is a double yolker.
All pullet eggs start out smaller, except for the doubles, then gradually get bigger over day, weeks, months.
