In other words, first you get pullet sized (smallish) eggs but as the hens mature (whether they be bantam or standard sized), their eggs get up bigger. But bantam eggs will never be nearly as big as those from standard sized hens. You'll always be easily able to tell them from eggs from standard sized birds.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-7089877686257453372013-03-25T22:44:31.322-05:002013-03-25T22:44:31.322-05:00Wow!
