I hear there are hens that lay pink eggs ?

[Hotzcatz]

A pullet is the same as a heifer or filly - i.e. a young female which has not had young yet. Usually when a hen starts laying, her first dozen eggs or so are fairly small. As the hens age, the eggs get bigger although there's less of them. I had a seven year old hen who laid really big eggs, but not very many of them.

A clutch (in the chicken world anyway) would be the group of eggs laid by a hen to set on and hatch. (Note: they "set" and not "sit" when they are hatching the eggs.) Some breeds of chickens are much more likely to go broody (want to set eggs) than other breeds. I think the Henderson Chicken Chart that Hrooster mentioned above notes which ones are more likely to go broody than others.

Chickens are great fun!
