How Much Do You Eggs Weigh

[nribs]

As a new bird owner, i have had my 4 girls for 2 weeks now, 2 Blak Rocks and 2 Sussex Buffs, we hae weighed any eggs we get ever day, is that sad? The fst week or s we were getting eggs between 42g & 48g over thekast few days they have been getting noticably larger in fact today we gt a 56g beauty does anyne else weigh their eggs?

lol loads of us do...but few admit it lol one of my girls used to continually lay 90g+ eggs with some topping the 100g mark all single yolkers

[Suechooks]

I do when they begin laying. Mine are mostly Warrens and usually begin at around 35g and after about a month they've gone up to 60g+. You'll find after a while you can gauge the weight by just looking!

Oh yes indeed!
We have tiny French chooks ( Cayenne).
Their eggs start at about 28g...and over a year later get up to 45g, although we've had the odd 50g!!!

[Glutton4...]

Nope - but that's because I haven't got any scales LOL!

I record date laid and weight in my notebook.

Sad? Moi?

I now only weigh the whoppers - or if I need small ones for baking. The small ones are about 65 g and the normal ones about 75 g and the whoppers can be 115g OUCH! lol

That really is an "ouch" Janey Think the biggest I've had was 108g and it was HUGE!!!!! mostly though they're between 70 - 90g, except the Welsummer ones, they're about 60g cos she's just practising
I always weigh the great big ones and the titchy ones just out of curiosity, but when I'm baking I always weigh the eggs to calculate how much butter/sugar/flour to use
