I have 2 Brown Leghorn that started laying about 3 weeks ago.

Right now there eggs are about the size of a bantam egg. Will they get bigger?

Congratulations and yes they will get bigger, provided they aren't bantams of course?
It may take a while. Ive got a WLH pullet who is still laying smallish eggs on 3 weeks.

This is my first time having leghorns and I am not sure what the standard size is. I know they are bigger than my silkie but smaller than my other large hens.

Yep they are standard.
What breed is that rooster you have in there? BCM?

As a first time chicken owner, I got the surprise mix of 25 (turned out to be 27!) from McMurray five weeks ago. I have several Brown Leghorns (not sure if they're light or dark) but they were the CUTEST babies (little chipmunks!) and were the first to feather out. They are still the shiniest chicks of the lot and have the coolest hackles which grew in maybe two weeks ago in a shiny gold color. Sometimes, they're tough to tell apart from my Welsummers (different hatchery) but their sleek bodies are a dead giveaway. I know I have a few boys and hope they all get along long enough for me to see how pretty they are!
This is a terrible pic since these guys weren't the focus, but I'll post more of them tomorrow.

They do win the award for toughest birds to catch!! They are agile and FAST! First night in the coop tonight...beautiful evening! Hope they like it!!

Thank you, He is a BCM I have 2 of them I have moved them from the leghorns now. I am thinking of putting one with some Ameracaunas and the other one with a couple BCM hens(when they are old enough).

These are my beautifuls, 5 months old... Amazing smart, knock at the door to come in, snuggle with the kids and cats, come to their names... But, no crowing, no eggs? What age would they start crowing? Most think they are roos.
