Why are you laying huevos would be my first question. Looks like you at least washed them though.

[Pedernal]

I am cold is always my excuse when size is in question

[Txsurveyor2014]

those look pretty big, for quail eggs

[BlessedVeteran0305]

These are chicken eggs not sure on the breed just some random from TS

[Mitchell8]

Wut kind of bird

[Walker]

Bantam or guinea eggs.

[HogHunter34]

I’ve got hybrids (Rhode Island Red crossed with White Leghorn)
They are bred to produce a smaller size laying hen for less food consumption but are great layers. They don’t miss a beat

[S-3 Ranch]

Those are normal??
Those store bought eggs are layed by mutant hens

[AgHntr10]

They generally start off small and get bigger as they lay more. You could have gotten a bantam variety though and they will just always be small.

Don't wash your eggs, brush off the poop. Not good to wash them.

This right here.

I keep some steel wool just for this. I only wash with water right before use. If wool wont take it off, you can use extremely hot water on a paper towel to try and wipe it off.

It could be the heat. When its super hot they seem smaller. My hens stopped laying all together last couple weeks and started molting.
