Small egg..... is this normal??

[winekntrychicks]

My uncle asked if the egg was from a bantam. Its from a 21 week EE. Will Her eggs get any bigger?? It does seem pretty small.

They start out small, and then get bigger.

They will get bigger as the hen matures dont worry LOL

Unless it's the size of a marble - then it is called a "wind" egg, or more commonly known as a fart egg.

My little Spangled OEG bantam's first egg was smaller than a cocktail olive. That was one teeny fart. But now they're normal size, for her. And they make the best pickled eggs!

her egg is just a wee bit smaller than an organic free range store bought egg. It is much bigger than an olive though. It seems tiny.........

the brown one is the store bought egg from an organic free range farm, the lovely green one belongs to my Sweet EE named Eagle. She looks like a bird of prey.....

My standard SLW has layed five eggs now that are quite small. They have been uniform in color, size and have nice hard shells. Can I expect them to get larger?

First - Welcome to BYC ... Yes, they will get larger.

winekntrychicks: I'm thrilled you are getting green eggs. I can't wait to see what color my EE's lay.​
