The eggs we use come from happy, free range hens. In winter these are sometimes reluctant to lay (and who could blame them?). Today the shop had only pullet eggs, which are much smaller. Some are too tiny to fit in our egg rack – they would slip through the holes.
Big eggs at top, little eggs below.
The two at the top are standard hen’s eggs, the others are smaller pullets’ eggs. The other pullet eggs had to stay in the box.
“I know it’s truly winter when
production ceases from the hen.”
