What size eggs will the offspring lay?

[mamahen222]

I have a bantam Silkie rooster (I know silkies lay small eggs), if I breed the silkie rooster with large egg laying breeds such as (astrolourp, maran, Easter egger, etc.) will the new chicks produce small, medium or large eggs? Because they are hatching from a large egg will they produce large Agfa and be large chickens?

probably medium.

It will depend on the individual hen. Some will lay larger eggs than others.
