The youngest hens I have are 11 months old and I am still averaging 30 to 35 % Medium/small eggs. Was wondering if this will ever stop or not?? Had one hen go broody and hatched out 8 chicks from 10 eggs. Lost 1 chick and others are about 2 months old. @ more hatched out some chicks and then promptly the all moved into a dog house put into the maternity ward I have set up for the broody ones. This is to keep them out of the general population and safety for the chicks. Just can't figure out the small egg thing. Any suggestions??? Thanks Scott
 
Well I did a bit of research and although I wasn't really able to find any truly helpful information I did read something about how eggs from a chicken less than a year old are called "pullet eggs" and it's not uncommon for their size to kind of bounce around.
