I recently posted a question on High Desert Homegrown Poultry, and got no answers. So I will try here. I am fairly new to raising chickens - So please bear with me here. I purchased a mixed flock, about 2 years old. There are very large hens in the mix as well as 3 bantums. My little silkie hen was so picked on she was near death when I got her. She looks so good now, she has grown back most of her feathers. Now for my question. I thought that my little silkie was laying eggs, little half size eggs - Now I think that those are from the 2 other bantums, because recently I have collected 2 eggs the size of an egg shaped nickel. Does anyone out there know what the egg sizes are for the different breeds?? I have 2 silver seabrite bantums and my very tiny silkie. I also have 10 standard to large breed hens. The standard breeds I get - it is the Bantums that I have the questions about.
