How long does it take once a hen is laying for their eggs to reach full size? Or will they always just lay a variety of egg sizes?

I have 8 RSL's that are 29 weeks old today. Our first started laying at 16 weeks, with another to follow 2 weeks later. The rest fell in line shortly after and all have been laying since late July/early August. Just curious.
 
Good question, I'm curious too. I have a Barred Rock that has layed smaller eggs, and they aren't getting any bigger yet. Even new layers are laying bigger eggs lol.
 
It can take six to eight weeks for them to reach full first year size. In their second year after they molt the size usually increases again.
