Pullet eggs are always small, unless you get a double yolker! As the pullet matures the eggs will increase in size. By the time they become a true hen, 12 months, they'll be what most would call a normal egg. You should see some of the eggs the farmer at the back our house gets, they're enormous. I guess this was one of the reasons they felt allowing older hens to lay was cruel!
 
I feed mine scratch grain every day, by week 2 they are pretty large eggs... but I've also heard you don't want to feed them too much of that stuff because it may cause a blowout.
