Barely bigger than a 5p coin, it measures just 0.9 inches (2.5cm) long, has a diameter of 0.79 inches (2cm) through its widest part and weighs 0.26oz (7.3g).
After 24 to 32 weeks of growing up, your hens will lay an egg almost every day for eight or nine months straight, then take a break for a few weeks to a few months (typically in the winter), and then start laying again. Each time they start laying again, they will lay fewer, but larger, eggs.
