gary&debbie&amy Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 this may be a stupid question but our speckeled hen has started to lay and the eggs are very small do the eggs get any bigger or is it just that she is a small hen many thanks 14.4.08 holly dorothy light sussex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 when they first start to lay the eggs are sometimes soft without a shell, very small or an odd shape, sometimes you might be lucky and get a week of double yolkers aswell! Its normal and just means their little egg laying bits are getting into gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yes, ours all started out quite small but soon got bigger (they still fluctuate by a good few grams each day). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
