I had Ideal's Ameraucanas/Easter Eggers and they layed medium size eggs. Where did you get the Ameraucanas/Easter Eggers that lay large eggs?

Also, Ideals were light powder blue, and I like the various shades of turquoise myself - I'm looking at ordering some more and would like the one's that lay the large/xlarge turquoise eggs.

My one barred rock hen lays larger eggs than her buff orpington flock mates, fwiw. -Wendy

i've heard that Black Jersey Giants will lay a jumbo egg, but that they're slow to mature and may not lay for awhile. so anyway, i have a BJG pullet who it now 9 weeks old, so we shall see. but i have an EE that lays a pretty large egg. it's funny cuz my Silver Cuckoo Marans is my heaviest girl (at the moment) but she lays only a medium egg. and my EE is pretty scrawny but lays a good sized large egg.

I have had large eggs from many different breeds from time to time, but my white leghorns lay the biggest eggs on a constant basis.

Out of my girls, my Black Australorps lay the biggest eggs.

We have two EEs that lay some fairly large eggs, although they're not the monster eggs shown in the first post! One of them came from McMurray, and the other is the offspring of two feed store chicks (not sure which hatchery they were ordered from). With the EEs, it seems to be the biggest hens that lay the biggest eggs. The rest of our EEs lay eggs that are large to XL (I don't have an egg scale, so I'm comparing them to store eggs and looking at what it says on the carton).
