my girls are 23.5 weeks now.
My EE laid her first egg on Aug 29th and it was only 31g which I read that they start small so thought nothing of it. She didn't lay her 2nd one until Sept 5th and that one was around 34-35g I think. Since then she is laying 6 a week. They have all been around 39-40g. I know it takes time to get bigger but figured they would get bigger each time or at least get bigger over the past 2 weeks or so (she has been laying steady for 17 days now). These eggs are tiny! I think small or even smaller than small eggs. I thought she would lay medium eggs so wasn't expecting big eggs but much bigger.
My Salmon Faverolle started laying Sept 12 and laid 5 last week and so far 2 this week. Her first was 35g then from 2nd on has been about 39-40g as well. Will hers start to get bigger? again I know they start small but figured they would be getting bigger over the last 7 eggs and not just stay the same. again I was expecting medium eggs from her.
They are on all flock since i have a rooster and I have oyster shells out for them. Just curious what other peoples experience has been.
