Oooooookay. Time for Brian to get a lesson in chicken. I'd not seen this word, "pullet", so I looked it up. So, Mella, a young female chicken is a pullet, so I have to surmise you're referring to their first eggs? I've never raised chickens, so I also surmise there's a whole science behind it. Soooooooo, how much smaller are these first eggs? How many clutches (is that the word?) before a laying hen puts out larger eggs?
