These eggs will not be fertile. How old is the hen and did she breed before you?

I am not sure of her age. Do you think she is too young and to leave it until the summer (say another 3 or 4 months?) thanks

Hi It isn't unusual for young hens to lay smaller eggs.
at their first attempt. You could just leave her & let
her get over it & then start hopefully to lay normal
eggs. Just because there small don't necessarily
mean their infertile. Yours B.J.
