This week we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our Pullets to help increase our egg production here on the farm. Pullets are young or 'teenage' hens. Many of you might not realize it, but it takes chicks 18-20 weeks to reach egg production maturity. Our new chicken teens will start laying brown 'Pullet' egg in a couple of weeks. Pullet eggs are smaller sized than most eggs that you see in a grocery store. I had never seen one myself before working here on the farm, but I can assure you that despite their size, they are just as rich and creamy as our larger sized eggs plus they are kind of cute! While they might be difficult to bake with since most recipes call for large eggs, they are great for those of us looking for a little bit of portion control at breakfast time.
