My EE has just started laying and she is laying small eggs. I have had girls who laid small eggs occassionally when getting started, but never had any who a couple weeks later was still laying small eggs.

Is she going to be a small egg layer?

I have three EEs, and they lay a medium sized eggs, so hopefully they will get bigger for you....

Usually they lay smaller eggs when they begin laying, and then the eggs get larger as they age. Nothing to worry about, it's perfectly normal

Our girls laid real small eggs at first. Within the last week or so they've gone from small to medium to large according to our Ideal egg scale. Yesterday we got an enormous jumbo egg. It exceeded the capacity of our scale.

They will improve. Just takes some time.
 
My hens seemed to lay smaller eggs when they first start laying then the eggs do get bigger. so yes. they will get bigger.
 
Mine just started laying two weeks ago and they are small, but the one that has been laying the longest is giving me a slightly bigger egg this week. I gave 6 to a freind of mine and she said they were all double yolks but one!
