Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for August 09, 2022

Large eggs now are what small eggs used to be…chickens are getting lazy.

Too late now!

Better yet, wake up the ostrich!!

I like jumbo myself!

I understand BH’s frustration, but no need to be such a witch about it.

Don’t you have witch powers to turn those large into extra-large?

Broomie, we’ve seen you cook. You don’t want extra large eggs, you want takeout.

Broomie knows when to leave!

kind of like the Munsters Vulture eggs…

dino eggs

I once bought extre large while I still had some large. They were the same size.

egg size is based on weight not physical size

It does appear they’ve downsized egg, just like every other product.

Actually, the eggs sold in stores are sized by weight, packaging those with similar physical dimensions together in each carton. The common sizes, medium, large, and extra large are about 1.75, 2.0, and 2.25 ounces per egg respectively. The living conditions, food and water, age and breed of the chickens are some of the factors which can affect the size of eggs produced. Unless otherwise specified, most baking recipes are referring to large eggs. The nutritional value of different sized eggs is not that significant.

After 1500+ years, Broomie has still not learned about not being overly pushy….

Anybody out there ever eaten a condor egg?

I used to love pullet eggs…now they are called medium.
