Hello, thanks for joining us! Those small eggs will increase in size as the egg laying mechanics get worked out with the girls.

Terrific!! Looking forward to that.

Golden commet and ISA browns!

Both good layers.
Make sure you follow a strict diet with these breeds. They are prone to early laying disorders if feed too many treats.

Strict diet would be layer feed in a crumble or pelleted form only. Not a whole grain form.
Treats limit to once a week and ONLY a table spoon worth of what ever it is per bird.
