My dad says we need some pullets. What is a pullet?

A bullet is something you have to shoot with a gun and they're not very nice don't use them..ever!
Its a pullet Abby, a chicken?
A chicken?
Yes when a chick grows to eight weeks old it is then called a pullet.
Why?
I don't know,thats not the question anyway. A chicken is a pullet from 8 to 20 weeks when it becomes point of lay.
Point of lay, you're making it up when you lie down its called laying down...
No it means a chicken or hen is about to start laying eggs Abby!
Oh, I see does the egg stay in their for 20 weeks then, Greg.
Don't confuse John ... I hope that answers your question.
Yes bye.
