Hi Everyone!
As you can tell, I\'m not exactly a \"regular\" here but it\'s good to see y\'all.
I\'m so glad to read the comments thus far. My largest eggs are at least 2 ounces and sometimes reach 2.2 ounces. Most hens are laying right around there or slightly under 2 ounces.
I got two pullets that just started laying. One is laying a 1.4 to 1.45 ounce egg and is a nice blue. Yesterday I got a pure white egg and I just measured it at 1.37 ounces. I know it\'s an Ameraucana egg. I\'m hoping it\'s a fluke for the initial egg and I start seeing some blue - otherwise she\'s a Goner.
I would just like to end by echoing Mike\'s comments. I am REALLY disappointed with the egg production of my birds this year. They won\'t be 2-years old until April so it\'s not an age issue. And I\'ve commented on this elsewhere in the Forum so I won\'t beat a dead horse but rest assured that egg size and production is a MAJOR consideration in my breeding program now.
God Bless,
