Who's laying the eggs... the Bantam Silkie or Wyandotte?!

We had our first egg yesterday (fantastic) and a second today. Both white and the same size. Both are very small for a bantam egg, compared to my dad's Pekins. I don't mean silly small like you can have from time to time from chickens but on the small side.

Now here's the thing, I have a Silkie girl who I've had since about 12 weeks that is about 8/9 months old now and a 4 month old Wyandotte. I have not had these bantams before so am in the dark.... So who's laying the little white eggs? Good old Google isn't being much help!

I'll bet on the silkie.

Ah thanks but why her... Her age or the size and colour of the .

So silkies lay cream and white eggs often. My wyandottes have all layed medium brown eggs that are medium size. 4 months is fairly early to lay and 9 months is normal for a silkie I believe. So I'd say it's definitely from the silkie based on egg size and color, and your pullets ages.

my bantam wyandotte lays very very pale pink/tan eggs.
