Suzana Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hello, I'm very excited because my almost 6-month-old Orpington laid her 2 first eggs this weeks. But they are really small, about half the size of a normal egg... Is this normal? Thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheChickenMan Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I have Orpingtons and as a breed they don't lay big eggs. Which can surprise a lot of people as they are big fluffy balls of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzana Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Oh, it is surprising indeed, I haven't really weighted them but I doubt they weight more than 20g... I was kind of hoping it was because she is still young... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheChickenMan Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Yes that will likely be part of the reason for the small size as well Suzana. Well i went and weighed one of mine and it was 57g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
