I have not seen the smaller eggs for sale for a long time.
I assume young hens are still laying eggs?

Can the small eggs be bought?

I haven't seen them since my grandmother raised chickens. She used to sell the excess eggs to the store in town, but they never wanted the brown or pullet eggs. Pretty funny how times change! Now people will pay twice as much for the brown ones cause they think they're "special" or something. I bet people would do the same thing for pullet eggs.

I call the brown shelled eggs "whole wheat eggs".

I don't recall ever seeing pullet eggs for sale. Use to see double yoke eggs at the store but no more.

I usually get extra large eggs and last dozen I got had a double yoke in it. First I've seen in many years.

Never had a pullet egg, but every time I hear the term, it reminds me of the punchline of the classic joke......"would you mind holding my cock and pullet, while I scratch my ass?"

I have my own hens and a supply of the smaller eggs.....but what is special about them? Is there a certain preparation? I just use them as any other egg.

Nothing special, you just eat twice as many. I can remember one time when myself and two of my friends went to my grandparents farm to hunt squirrels and rabbits when we were about 16 or 17. We came in about 10:00 a.m. frozen to the bone and my grandmother made us breakfast and used the pullet eggs. The three of us ate 2 dozen along with a heaping platter of side pork, fried potatoes and toast. Ahhhh....the good old days!! Sadly, few kids these days get to experience that.

I'm thinking Pullet eggs would work GREAT for making pickled eggs.

Being smaller they would "pickle" quicker.

Wish I could find some locally, I'd give this a try!
