Looking at the link gloria posted from the American Egg Board, I'd also
say that most (not all) of the "Jumbo" eggs our chickens lay would be
considered AA grade, because the yolks are nice and big and high, not to
mention a nice dark yellow in color - and the whites spread out very
little when breaking them into a pan. Are the eggs you usually buy fresh
"free-range" (or not)? IMHO, that *might* also have something to do with
it.
