Baking with first eggs?

[Larafamilychickens]

My hens just started laying eggs, so they are small, but otherwise amazing eggs, does anyone use these eggs for baking? Can I just use 4 small eggs instead of 2 “jumbo” store bought eggs?

That's exactly what I do. Well actually I use all of the little eggs in a quiche or egg bake (crustless quiche,) and I just use as many as will fit in the baking pan. But yeah for a recipe, I consider 2 little eggs = one large; 3 = jumbo. My favorite way to use up alot of eggs is "Taco Egg Bake," it's awesome.

Yes and yes.
I make a frittata every other week. The recipe calls for 10 large eggs. I have bantams and mid-sized birds that lay small eggs. No one wants to buy these eggs. They want the big eggs my big girls lay. So I use the small eggs. I will boil them for smaller sized hard boiled eggs on my salads or for snacking. I use 18 of these eggs in place of the large eggs called for in my frittata recipe. It all works out.
