An eggs-itentIal crisis!

What happened? Did I miss something? The last three dozen eggs that I have bought from the grocery store are puny. Two different stores and three different brands and all the eggs don't even qualify as medium in size. The cartons all have said large but they sure ain't the size I am used to. Is this a sign of a looming apocalypse? Are all the chickens evolving into Cornish game hens? The next thing you know a can of beer will only be 10 ounces instead of 12. Regular hot dogs will turn into cocktail weinies. Civilization as we know it is doomed. Bob

Eggs, schmeggs...I looked down at myself in the shower, and I've turned into the "fun" size.
We dont have that problem.
eggs for a while have been getting smaller. just like your pants you have to start getting a bigger size.
My chickens are still laying king sized eggs,
But the pullets from last spring are starting to lay eggs the size of a quarter.
Your mileage may vary...
Some of y'all better find out how that male hummingbird has been getting into your chicken coop.
The eggs are small because of Covid of course like all the other BS going on.
carton of 18 for 99cents here in Wis.
Bob, the hens in your area must be listening to the lib news media. With intent to pleasure them with soothing music, attention must be made to make sure the radio station doesn't flip to the dark side when no human ears are listening.
Just eat twice as many.
The eggs we get from Kroger's are huge, not quite ostrich huge, but they are pretty big.

Blame it on climate change, actually weather can affect the size, but more commonly will affect the timing of laying, I have one hen that lays a smaller egg every day and another that lays larger ones but on average every other day, they have been molting for about 2-3 weeks now and this will also affect egg production.
I have noticed this too Bob.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Cheap here also and Large eggs.
Agree, very nice eggs.
