A sure sign of spring are small pullet eggs. The hens which hatched last spring are starting to lay eggs. Some may even become mothers this year. Below are some of the chicks from last May. Perhaps these eggs were laid by the chicks below, now that they are grown up. It does make you wonder what goes through a young hen’s mind the first time she lays an egg. “Woe! What was that, and what am I supposed to do with it?” Or what do they say when they chat with their sister after laying their first egg? “Rachel, you won’t believe what popped out of my but!”
