Today, one of our two Bantam hens layed it's first golden egg. Ok, it wasn't quite golden - it was light brown, but I was just as excited nevertheless. Even though my Bantam hens are considerably smaller than my regular hens, I was surprised to see that the size of their eggs were not much different. In the attached photo, our first Bantam hen egg is on the left side, next to it is the third egg, laid yesterday by the regular hen. For comparison I also placed a standard grocery store "large" size egg on the right side of this picture.
