Title: Will my eggs get bigger?
Post by: Bogof on June 19, 2010, 15:46

Hello again. Three of my girls started laying about 10 days ago the problem is the eggs are very small about banty size! My other girls have layed for 8 - 10 weeks now and when they started the eggs were a bit smaller but did get bigger almost every day. Any suggestions

They will get bigger as they get older and you will probably get a few double yolkers while their young too :Dmy cream legbars are still laying small eggs but every so often i get a slightly larger one(banty size really) thats a double yolker.I wasnt expecting that as my other double yolkers i have had have been massive eggs ,but its a lovely surprise .Be patient and they will become more regular and a better size :)

I've just checked the box of eggs I've had in my fridge for a week and they're the same size as when I bought them  :lol:
