We made it!

Well, Folks! We did it! We raised all 30 birds with no losses except for one! I’d say that’s pretty good! And we got our first two eggs today! Are eggs usually pretty small when they first start laying? Or are these from my silkies? (The white egg is for comparison of a normal egg)

Congratulations on your first eggs! Silkie’s eggs are white or cream color so they’re likely from some of your other birds. Yes it’s normal for them to be smaller in the beginning but this will change in time.

Awesome!

Yup, agreed with the posts above. Some of the first eggs will be so tiny. I've also seen chickens lay a pretty good sized first egg, too. It's normal for them to start small.
