Separated and weighed 18 eggs today and weighed them to get averages, as Mom’s “Pretty Princesses” lay out a variety of visual sizes. Most of her flock will be a year old this year.
By weight, the yolks come in at “large” on average, but the whites come in at “medium.” Not a big deal if you’re making an omelette, but more important for merengues and other baked goods.

That sounds super interesting! What kind of chickens does your mum have?
How does she hatch them? Are they big or small and what is their average weight?
I have had poultry before and now I would like to have them again.

With the small difference between medium and large whites is there a chance it’s just an error in separating the whites from the yolks? IE some whites staying on the yolks.
