The average size of eggs are usually 4cm in length and 9cm in circumference. This may vary slighty especially with young/yearling hens first nest or older hens in their later years of nesting.

sometime a they can lay 1 small one and a normal one

ive seen the small egg hatch out ok

but mostly they don't

 

up to you if you keep it or not

but most fanciers would discard it

Smallest egg I ever had was size of a budgies, left it and shocked it hatched the little blue hen that it turned into was my very first pigeon in every hard day race I sent her to
