Who laid a mini egg?

[Carpe DiHen]

I have (3) 21 week old pullets and I got my first egg today.

They are all standards: Jersey Giant, Brahma, and Cochin.

Who laid this little egg?

I think they're called 'pullet eggs'. Basically the first tries tend to be small. So, no telling since I believe all three of your breeds are brown egg layers.

My Jersey Giant lays identical eggs, I keep asking her when she's going to start producing something more in line with her overall size, she's my biggest bird by about a three pound margin, but lays these cute iddy-biddy little eggs!

My Jersey Giant is named Mini because she was the smallest chick and is smaller than the other two pullets. I was thinking Mini laid the mini egg, but the Cochin is rated to lay small eggs?

How old is your JG?

First egg is always tiny, don't care whether you've got a banty or a giant

Give the girls a good looking over to see who looks most mature, check to see if any of them squat, and check the pubic bones if you know how, but just looking at the egg's size isn't going to tell you.

I've been getting those too and several of my brown egg layers are squatting. I am assuming it's the one with the largest floppiest comb.

My cochin's eggs are a much lighter brown. My money's on the JG, too.

Haven't checked in for a couple of days so slow to answer if you are still interested. My JG is about eight months old now. I picked her up this evening for the first time in a while and I swear she weighs twelve pounds! She's big and beautiful, and dumb as a bucket of rocks, lol.

Yeah, they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, but they make up for it by being fabulous! I love my JGs. I want a whole flock of them. I love those big beauties.
