Greetings,

 

Does anyone know how much a dozen of eggs should weigh?  I have what appears to be jumbo (visually) to very tiny eggs.  We mainly eat the smaller ones & will sell the larger ones.  

 

I want to know if I mix & match the sizes, what should the weight be for a dz Extra Large & then Large eggs.

 

Thanks in advance!

I know an easy way that you could find out.

 

Go to the grocery store and buy a dozen eggs of each size and weigh them.

 

Have a lot of omelets.

Keeper of 27 hens,  4 PW Leghorns, 1 leghorn mix, 1 FBCMarans, 1 Australorp, 1 Buff Orpington, 1 Mama Olive Egger, 1 Olive Egger broody, 1 EE, a Barred Rock, a RIR, a CQ, 1 Delaware, 1 Black Star, a Splash Ameraucana, 3 W/BW Ameraucanas, 5 polish, 2 Welsummers and exactly 63 chicks of various breeds. and 25 eggs in the bator. YIKES!

I don't care why the chicken crossed the road, as long as mine don't!
