Egg size and colour

Ruby Red · « **on:** October 15, 2008, 15:00 »

Can anyone supply me with information on the size and colour of eggs that have been layed by Light sussex and Black Schwarz. Before I had these 2 I was able to sort out which of my other hens --Warrens and Wyandottes--- had laid what. Since one of the others has been laying Ive realised Im now not so sure about the original hens now. The egg I put down as a Sussex really is quite small compared to her size. Can anyone help please.Is there a website anywhere, Ive tried but failed.

Thank you for replying. I actually went out at half hour intervals this morning to see who was missing in the run. Then I carefully lifted the lid to see where the perpetrator was. Yes its right. The small one I have is pinky beige in colour. For saying the sussex is the biggest one I have, she lays a small egg.!!Cheers for the trouble.
