Unsecure chicken perches

[NFMC]

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?

Nope . They will probably increase a little in size as they get older. The odd large one is usually just a blip .

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!

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!
