Hahaha! Gotta love that comment. It makes me feel bad about the eggs I get from my girls (except for one). Almost all the people here report their first eggs and they look huge and my girls start with really small eggs (except for the sex-links).
Before a hen reaches her first year, they are called a "pullet", so the eggs of a pullet are usually small-ish, compared to the eggs of an older hen.
My girls do a lot of hollering and whooping after somebody's laid an egg. Sometimes it is when Glados, our French Maran is still in the coop laying so I can catch her. I have also noticed that it isn't just Glados who does all the cackling and crowing. Apparently several of my girls do it for her, especially her bonded buddy.
Probably she is a pullet, if the hen is a large fowl breed and the eggs are small. Different breeds do lay small eggs, or large eggs- like Jersey Giants vs. Silkies; What type of hen is she? If you're not sure, post a picture of her and the folks on here will be able to tell you exactly what she is and probably how old she is too.
