Lucycj Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi All, I'm a newbie and got our girls (Maggie, Mabel & Deirdre) on Saturday. Found our first egg today which I think was laid by Deirdre as I saw her sitting on the nesting box earlier. The egg was quite small and I was wondering if first eggs are usually smaller than usual and if they get bigger? Thanks, Lucy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Yes they will get bigger, it does take a while though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 As an example when my Rose started laying in May, her eggs were around 45 grams, now they are typically about 60 grams (although we did get a 78 gram one on Sunday - a double yolker too!), so they do gradually get bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I found the eggs got bigger quite quickly. Katie's eggs are usually 68-70g now, occasionally bigger, but never smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
