Hello, What size eggs are Speckled Sussex suppose to lay?????

I have 2 Speckled Sussex hens, 16 months old. They are both still laying a small egg (see pic, the egg by my thumb is one of my SS eggs, the other belongs to one of my other girls.

Also one of my SS girls has been loosing feathers like crazy, not molting either. She has just started re-growing her hackle feathers back but other feathers are still not coming back.

 
Sorry, but SS lay very small eggs. For such fat, sassy hens, you'd think they could squirt out bigger eggs, but smalls is it.

My SS are cannibals, too. They all pick and shave each other. I finally segregated them to their own pen and coop so the only damage they do now is to each other. One of them in particular, isn't bald yet, but she has the look of one who has been put through the rough cycle on a washing machine.
