Double check: are these too small?

Double check: are these too small?

Hello, im trying to get a start my all black silkies, so im collecting eggs! I was wondering if these seemed too small for silkie eggs to hatch? Not pure silky, i have mystic onyx hens (1/2 silkie genetics) then a silkie roo. My girls have only been laying eggs of this size, not really bigger.

The top one is a regular sized egg from another “normal sized” chicken. Should i wait a few months to see if the eggs fatten enough to hatch comfortably? They started consistently laying march/april.

(Edited to clean up and clarify)
