Ours are tiny! Those eggs are Welsummers and silver laced wyandottes. One of the SLC's is consolistently laying a soft egg, so we started offering calcium for them as well.

Yep, they gradually become bigger, I got layers that just started few weeks ago and they're still small in comparison to my 2 yr and 1 yr olds layers.

I have gotten a few more, possibly different girls, and they are slightly bigger than the first one. My 4-year old granddaughter was so excited today to find two in the nest box! I'm glad they are using it-I just put it in yesterday because I didn't expect eggs for a couple more weeks.

So I got my first egg yesterday and I was really big! Today I got an egg half the size and it had white specks. Is that normal??

It's Not normal but not unusual, chances are the first egg has 2-3 yolks in it. Normally a pullet's first few weeks of egg laying are mostly small then gradually becomes normal size. But occasionally you'll get gargantuan size eggs that has double or even 3 yolks, which was the case with our Easter Egger few weeks ago.
