Mrs Frugal Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Yes they will get bigger. First eggs do tend to be on the small side but as the hen gets older, the eggs will increase in size. Congratulations on the eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley H Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hi!!! I have had my girls since Saturday and we had our second egg from Lily today. They are small like yours - very cute. It is so exciting - it really amazes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tara.F Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 our gingernut lays dinky little eggs. she's been laying regularly for a month now and they aren't getting any bigger but we love them and my youngest daughter (aged 3) is sure they are just for her A helpful tip while cooking though, is that recipes assume an egg to weigh about 2oz so I just use as many eggs as it takes to make up the weight and don't concern myself with the number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 that's one of the joys of having your own chooks - it doesnt matter how many or how big the eggs are - they are just for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
