Small eggs
I have some Rhode Island Red hens that are just starting to lay their first eggs. They are much smaller than I expected. Are the first several generally small, or do my girls have something going on? Can I expect the to gain size over time? I have a few older cinnamon queens who are still laying great sized eggs so I don’t believe it to be a nutrition or environment issue.
