i made 2 dozen into deviled eggs for a family reunion this
past Saturday plus i hard boiled all the smaller than peewees
(a peewee egg is 1.5 oz. these were all 1.0 to 1.4), but
forgot to take them. i also took a dozen fresh medium for
grandpa... so i only had 2 dozen left here... we came back
Sunday afternoon to find another 9 eggs.

if you lived closer i'd sell you eggs by the each i don't
much like eggs & all the hens are laying now so we have every
size from sub-peewee to jumbo (but only one jumbo per day so
far... give them another 2 weeks & i think it'll be 4-5
jumbos/day. i don't think the green eggs will ever get bigger
than mediums though (my Ariacunas). we have a dorm-sized
fridge dedicated to eggs, all neatly labelled by date layed &
weight
