One of the new hens laid an egg this afternoon and boy, it was darn small in comparison to our normal eggs. I knew that egg size varied per breed, but had to Google to see if it was also affected by age. So, Google tells me that egg size varies per breed, age, diet and the overall health of the hen. Hopefully, when the new hens get settled in and a bit older they will produce bigger eggs. Our older ladies always produce large to extra large eggs.
