[packmomma]

Ok getting into selling eggs now and the USDA only has a weight per dozen of eggs. Does anyone know of individual weights for eggs? I look at an egg and its large or small to me.. young chicken small or OMG that hurt large. I want to know what sizes they are for each egg. I havent bought store eggs in years and have no idea what large actually looks like or medium...can anyone help?

There is actually an egg scale out there, but I can`t remember where I saw it.
