Does anyone weigh their eggs?

[EP Rabbitry and Homestead]

I don't typically weigh every egg I bring in, but if one looks unusually large, I will weigh. The biggest has been 2.7 oz, until today. Today, I got a huge one at 2.9 oz. I have RIR's and Golden Comets. Usually, the comets lay smaller brown eggs and the RIR's are larger but lighter brown. See pic below for todays treasure.

I occasionally weigh very large or small eggs but not as often as I used to when I first got chickens.

I weigh all of mine, in grams. The largest I've ever gotten was 74 grams -- double yolk. The smallest was the first: 17 grams. I blew out the shell and saved that one.

I've weighed many an egg, especially when I first started with chickens.
My first 6 pullets I weighed and recorded for 6 months.
I still weigh cartons to sell.

I weigh them from time to time just out of curiosity. 79g is the biggest from the current batch so far. The 18-month hens will soon be back to laying after their molt and may give me some larger ones.

Chipotle, the California White, is currently molting, but she has been a MACHINE for the production of 65g eggs with incredible consistency.

In particular, I weigh eggs when baking to get the right size -- since recipes assume large eggs (about 60g).

Good to know.

I never weighed any eggs until this past year when I finally bought a digital scale, because I wanted to know exactly how much the jumbo eggs weighed. I hadn't thought to weigh the fairy eggs, but that will be interesting to know too.

An Easter Egger from my flock of older hens laid this egg on December 18th.

I weigh the giant ones. The biggest one so far was 3.5 oz and had a huge yoke.
