I don't know how to title this

In a previous life I was a photojournalist. But the BIG prize always eluded me.
Our neighbor raises chickens so we seldom have to buy eggs. Often, when a new hen starts laying eggs (a pullet) the eggs are really small. I asked my wife the other day at breakfast if a pullet lays little eggs for a while and then suddenly lays a HUGE egg, is that a pullet surprise????

It all depends upon which came first.

Been there.
The first month or so the eggs from our chickens were on the small side, but they gradually grew along with the chickens.
Now the surprise is small eggs (dimensions about half of normal, so volume about 1/8). Have gotten 4 in a year from 10 hens. Not frequent but unexpected.
No funds nor medals were associated with these pullet surprises.

If you want to see the cute-ist little fried eggs, raise some quail.
