mullethunter Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I've never bothered before, but as I was about to use Penny's first two eggs af the year and had the scales out, I thought I'd weigh them. Her first is 45g and second 44g. She's a Wyandotte bantam. How much do your girls eggs all weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Ours usually weigh around 60g I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamonhot Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I have 5 different chickens and I get eggs varying from 35 grams to 49 grams. They started laying in December. I'm amazed they do everyday considering it's shorter days etc. My chickens are: Golden Pekin Bantam Silver Pencilled Wyandotte Silver Spangled Hamburg Leghorn White Buff Laced Wyandotte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie&Moose Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Our pekin eggs are around the 40g mark, occasionally a bit larger, the elderly columbine has downsized to eggs around 65g (they used to be bigger but given she's nearly 6 and still laying 4-5 eggs/week we're not complaining), the young maran produces eggs of 67-75g, the young orp's eggs weigh in around 58-60g and haven't had anything from our cochin this year, but they were always around the 58-60g mark as well. I promise I don't weigh every single egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) I only weigh the eggs when baking. In most standard recipes one egg measures 50 g without shell, so I do weigh the eggs to make sure I don't add too little egg. My bantams eggs are between 40 and 50 g with shell. 50 being the bigger eggs. Edited March 5, 2015 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Haven't had a chance to weigh a Pekin egg yet - they still don't think it's for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Those are good sized eggs for a Wyandotte bantam Mullethunter. Our large fowl Wyandotte and Orpington eggs only weigh about 60-65g. Our TNN's regularly produce eggs around 75g and the biggest we ever had was from a hybrid green egg layer, a double yolker at 126g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yes I'm really happy with them. One is enough for me for lunch or breakfast and for baking I usually use 3 for every 2 in a recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Ours right now are mostly over 70g and sometimes nearer to 80g A Silver Amber and an Isa Brown are what I have now and production is in full swing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yesterday 74g and 81g so no complaints - my hubby weighs them every day before we put them on the egg skelter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 82g and 84g eggs today - the chickens have taken to going up into the field behind my house every day with the horses and 2 sheep that live there - they are getting more grass I think and having a ball - loads of worms from the molehills too so they are in great production! I am amazed at the sizes every day - almost too big to roll down my skelter - they need some help some times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
