Do you weigh eggs? What's your largest egg, and average egg size? CHICKENS ONLY

[ChickenCide]

This is the largest egg I’ve ever gotten. It was a double yolk and came from my Easter Egger Zoey!View attachment 3842557thank you again for sharing this, I am really curious, does your hen Zoey usually lay eggs in this size range or are they usually big but this one just happened to be exceptional and over 100G?

WHAT! Where are your egg pics?
And of course but I am not referring to the adult layers. I have 2 young hens that hatched here and are mixed and just began laying and have not reached potential. I have two 3 week old leghorns I just picked up which I am hoping lay monster eggs when the time comes. And one of my hens hatched some chicks of which there are still 4, around three weeks old. They are mixed, but there should be a few that are Jersey Giant and Americana mixes, and I am looking forward to seeing how their egg laying potential turns out, assuming I'm not cursed with 4 roosters. I never checked their wings and I am not certain how accurate that check is anyways. Regardless those are the ones I am hoping lay some 100 gram eggs. ha ha Ill be happy if they are just hens.
I also have 3 cornish cross i bought that are ballooning up and approx 3 weeks old. 3 broad breasted white turkeys about 3 weeks old, and 2 other turkeys about 2 weeks old, that I am not certain of the breeds. I believe the brown one
is a bourbon red and i forget the breed of the silver/blue turkey. But maybe Ill luck out and get some good turkey eggs too. Those are my favorite.

I'm sorry, I think you meant to reply to someone else, while interesting, your reply doesn't make sense in context.

I guess you are having difficulty tracking the conversation but that is ok. Thank you.

That egg was an extremely big egg for Zoey! Her eggs are usually a lot smaller than that one. Lol also it’s the only one she has every laid liked that in her 4 years.

I am just curious what YOUR average chicken egg weight is, and what breed you have that lays it.

I also am curious what your largest egg weight has been and what it weighed.

CHICKENS ONLY, NO CHEATING, PICS 'N PROOF ALWAYS CARRY MORE WEIGHT THAN FISHERMENS' "FISH SIZE" STORIES.

But put whatever you want.

Oh, and my Largest Egg for now is not that big, it is 70.7 grams and laid by an Americana or Americana mix.

And eggs are averaging around 65 to 66 grams each.
Mainly Americana mixes and a couple black ones. Sorry to fail on the breed description, mine are mainly mixed.

ADDENDUM
I just uploaded the pic I have of my eggs. they are the largest I currently have, not huge or anything, but I was weighing them for incubation and when I took the pic so I could reference the original weights later in the incubation, and then that gave em the idea to ask other peoples' egg sizes in this post. Sorry I have a little cheat and my eggs aren't on scales, but they aren't questionably big I don't think, but I wanted to upload my pics since all of you were so nice in doing so.

70 grams on this larger one my average size is 60 grams barred rocks. I have barred rocks and have had a few bigger than 70 grams. Just for fun I took a photo of an old Zenith egg grader. The numbers represent number of ounces for a dozen of all one size eggs.

Thats a good size, thats about my chickens record so far.

I have had several much larger, 2 hen laid one everday. Then they died, I suspect egg bound but not sure. Maybe egg broke insid or maybe a weasel got in but I find it strange that both died laying huge single yolk eggs. Not even double yolks!

Maybe it was so big it was pressurized and exploded? ha

Who knows I used to have a photo, trying to find it. Looked as big as a goose egg and I don't have any ducks or geese.
