I cracked open those pullet eggs yesterday morning to make pancakes. One was a little bigger then the other, and much to my surprise it was a double yoker! That is the first time, in all my years I have ever seen a double yoker pullet egg. Oh the poor girl!

Dawn the pullet eggs are smaller. They actually weigh in on my old egg scale as a small. The regular eggs, that are bigger bottom the scale out. When the young girls first start laying, their eggs are smaller. For reasons I think anyone can understand! :) I just use a couple of them to make one egg in recipes. I think I got my pullets on May 22, or that week any how.

years ago i bought my eggs directly from a grower and the jumbo and double yolks were half the price of the others! weird huh? needless to say i got the jumbo double yolk eggs! my son fed soem chicken for a neighbor for a week in august and was able to keep allt he eggs he found. we just finished the last of them and its sure gonna be hard to wait till mine start laying! i bought 2 dozen this week and am truly hoping those are the last i have to buy!

I think the difference is that pullets are young hens, so their eggs are smaller. My girls aren't even laying "medium" sized eggs yet! They're so cute. I am one brown egg away from having a rainbow dozen (6 green 6 brown). My pullets are goofy and only lay in the afternoon, so I don't know if we got any yet today (crazy chickens!)
Once we went to the store about bought some brown eggs when I was a kid, and every single one was a double yoker!!! For YEARS after that I had to watch my parents crack open eggs because I was hoping for more, but alas, it never happened again. |

So Michele, what's the different between a pullet egg & the average egg the rest of us buy? They sound delicious. Do you use them for baking & cooking, or just one of those?

I can't wait tell I get eggs again. I have over 50 pullets and need to cull out 50 roosters. I get the big brown eggs from the Barred Plymouth Rock. Some people will not eat the brown eggs while others will not eat the white ones. I tend to not like the store bought waterery ones they call eggs, lol.
I like those double yolker and those farm fresh eegs that stand up when your cooking them.

Michele, I have had several double yolk pullet eggs. It is like they don't quite get the hang of it. Takes them a while to figure it all out. |
