Actually some of the biggest eggs I got from mine were when they first started laying. Until they get there egg system regulated they often laid huge double yolk eggs. The first egg is usually tiny but after a few months I think you got all the size your going to get. Now I hardly ever get a double. Thats my experience with the breeds I have.
mstarr! I'm with you, not sure how much bigger, if at all... my eggs might get by next fall, MC says after the 1st molt, so I have til next fall for that. my RIR's and EE's lay a very nice large to extra large egg consistently since about 6 weeks after starting, but my BR's are smaller, and Wilma (BR) lays a pee wee egg, same size as my bantam EE's egg, which is actually a very nice sized egg for such a small bird.
