Which breeds most likely lay "Jumbo" store bought eggs?

[jomercer]

My sex-link's ("Golden Comet") eggs are so large, I cringe in sympathy every time I collect one from her.....

Compared to the Golden Comet, Easter Egger, and SLW, my BA has the smallest eggs by far.

Commercial jumbos are laid by Leghorns and Sex links most of the time. There are few commercial flocks that would have any other type breed that I'm aware of.

Yeah, that. Commercial eggs = leghorns/sexlinks.

Jumbos are just from the older hens that are near the end of their life cycle at the "plant".

The ISA Brown the real bird, not just any Red Sex Link, but the ISA Brown. HUGE eggs all the time.

My leghorns always lay gigantic eggs. Never seen a small egg from any of them.

Have your hens molted yet? I have read that after molting the egg production is slightly reduced but the egg size actually increases. Mine have yet to molt but they are nearly one year old. Hope that the eggs grow accordingly!

I didn't know a chicken could lay a store bought egg.
