But my reds except for my less than a pound Netherlands redslay large eggs, and even the Netherlands reds lay huge eggs for their size. The Nehterlands' eggs are as long as the red hen eggs but not as big around. In the attached pictures the largest eggs are from my reds and partridge. Silkies can lay in a range of color and sizes; age makes a difference too in my other color. The largest silkie eggs are from my red silkies and the size of my white rock hen's eggs.

I put a quarter next to the egg and chick so if you'll be so kind to put a quarter in your hand while you look at the picture, it'll give you a perspective on their size. The pullet that laid the egg weighs 14oz, full of eggs! Her egg is really good sized for her size. She and her sisters lay everyday too.
