NFMC Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 SO - I have three hens but only one is laying (one's moulting and the other hasn't even started). We've always weighed our eggs and for weeks have had eggs of 59-61g. Pretty small but she's only young. Yesterday we had one at 73g. Nothing huge compared to some of the ones reported on here but impressive for us. Then today she's gone back to a 59g egg. What's going on? The chickens free range all day in our suburban garden and don't get too many treats. They have layers pellets all day but don't seem that bothered in them. Is there anything we can do to increase the size of the eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Nope . They will probably increase a little in size as they get older. The odd large one is usually just a blip . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 As ANH says, they should get bigger as they get older, especially is she has only just started laying Keep them on loats of layers pellets and not too many treats and they should be good!

percy049 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 My hens eggs usually weigh about 60g, and they're coming up for a year old Infact, my biggest hen (a bluebelle), lays the smallest eggs, and my smallest hen (a rhode rock), lays the biggest eggs!
