We have our first pullet egg!

Peter found the first one in the chook house this morning.

How do we know it's from one of the pullets and not the old chooks? It is a fairly small egg (medium/size 5 size) and chooks as they get old lay bigger and bigger eggs as their egg tube gets stretched (the over simplified explanation), so they lay x-large/size 7 eggs and they have bumps on them due to damage to their egg producing bits/their body's egg producing functions not working as well anymore.

So we are very excited as this means that we will be starting to get at least 3 eggs every day soon!
