I've always seen people say pullet eggs and hen eggs but I never really knew the difference. Can someone explain this silly question to me?
 
Pullet eggs are laid by a young hen, they are usually smaller in size at the beginning of her laying cycle. After a few months, the eggs are larger in size. Then we consider them hen sized.

Pullet eggs may be small, but you can still eat them.

There is no diffrince.accept a pullest firs egg is usually something rare like adouble yolker,or it has no shell
 
Hens under a year old are referred to as pullets. When pullets begin to lay eggs they often have oops eggs. First eggs are often small compared to what they will be in a couple months. Some may be soft shelled. Some may be double yoked. Some may not have a shell at all. Some may not even have a yolk. Otherwise once a pullet gets to laying regularly there is no difference between a pullet egg and a hen egg. A hen laying oops eggs is a more serious problem than a pullet laying imperfect eggs. Using the words pullet and hen is just giving the reader an idea as to the age of the bird.
