How long does it take a chicken to lay regular (consistent) size eggs after they start laying? Print E-mail

Answer:

You should see decent sized eggs (med. to large - depending upon breed) from your pullets about 4 - 8 wks after they start to lay.

Extra large sized eggs won't usually be available till after their 1st molt.

Depending upon the breed, hens will usually ovulate every 27 - 48 hours.
