The United States Department of Agriculture sizing is based by weight per dozen. [4] The most common U.S. size of chicken egg is 'Large' and is the egg size commonly referred to for recipes. The following egg masses including shell have been calculated on the basis of the USDA sizing per dozen:
Ostrich eggs are the largest of all eggs, [4] though they are actually the smallest eggs relative to the size of the adult bird — on average they are 15 cm (5.9 in) long, 13 cm (5.1 in) wide, and weigh 1.4 kilograms (3.1 lb), over 20 times the weight of a chicken's egg and only 1 to 4% the size of the female.

And with only about 1.5 grams of saturated fat in each egg, there's hardly enough to raise the alarm bells. So you don't necessarily need to worry about the health risks associated with eating ...
A yolkless egg is most often a pullet's first egg, produced before her laying mechanism is fully ready. In a mature hen, a yolkless egg is unlikely, but can occur if a bit of reproductive tissue breaks away, stimulating the egg-producing glands to treat it as a yolk and wrap it in albumen, membranes and a shell as it travels through the egg tube.
Eggs of chickens from the high-altitude region of Tibet have special physiological adaptations that result in a higher hatching rate in low oxygen environments. When eggs are placed in a hypoxic environment, chicken embryos from these populations express much more hemoglobin than embryos from other chicken populations. This hemoglobin has a ...
