Quick question about easter eggers and eggs.

[cupman]

I have 2 easter eggers that are currently laying. The eggs they lay are small in comparison to all the other breeds I have. Is it possible to get a mixture of EE that would lay an extra large green egg? or do they all tend to lay eggs on the smaller side?

Thanks.

Have they been laying for a while? My EEs started smallish and now are among the biggest eggs I get.

X2. Mine were not only smallish when they first started, but they took forever to get going. They were my last to lay. I would also get soft eggs for a while from them.

Oh that's something to look forward to. They began laying in August, pumped eggs out quickly for a couple months but they have slowed down for the winter. I have 3 other EE's that aren't laying yet in various pens around the yard so I guess we'll see in the Spring. Thanks again.

Depends on what your genetic background makeup of the EE is... If your EE's are crossed onto a banty-- obviously they'll be smaller egged than if crossed to a White Leghorn...

EE is just a mutt- and have no standards- therefore there is no standard answer.
