Not always, but often, first eggs will be small. Known as Fart or Wind eggs.
They should get bigger, as the pullet gets all the kinks worked out of her system.
You are not doing anything wrong

Mine seem to be extra small to. I have sex links. I thought fart or wind eggs were mistake eggs I'm going to have to research it more.
My eggs are perfect dark brown shell just petite.

My White Rocks have been laying for about 2 weeks now and we just got a almost normal size egg this am. I think this is probably normal.

Just got my first eggs!!! And yes, they are small, but I expected that. They're so darn Cute! First one on Thursday, Second one Friday then two today (Saturday.) It's like the other hens are watching what's going on and getting the idea. Of course, all the eggs have so far been laid in the same box, even though there are 12 to choose from... 2 of my RIRs are laying. The SLWs are watching.

First eggs have been very exciting although they are small. My skinny16 yr old said those eggs aren't even enough to feed me. lol! Well now they are!!!

They are pullet eggs and will gradually get bigger. Some start out bigger than others depending on the chicken.
