Small Eggs

[agrosner]

Hi All, I have 2 chickens that are 5 mo. old - one or both (can't tell) just started laying eggs. The eggs are very small - only about 2" long. My other 2 chickens (that are older) are laying normal to jumbo size eggs. Is there a reason why the eggs are so small or is it because they/she just started laying and they will get bigger in time?

Thank you!!

those are practice eggs, they will get bigger as long as your chickers are standard size..

They usually start small and work their way up to the big ones, it takes a while for the egg machinery in those girls to get the process down. Also check the eggs for a yolk, sometimes hens will lay what is called a fart egg with no yolk.

Pullet eggs are so cute aren't they?
