About
The chicken egg is a palm-sized culinary staple measuring under two inches across and weighing about two ounces.
A chicken egg is much smaller than an ostrich egg, which can weigh over 3 pounds (1.4 kg), but it is several times larger than a quail egg. In grocery stores, chicken eggs are sorted by weight, ranging from small sizes up to jumbo eggs that exceed 2.5 ounces (71 grams). A hen typically lays smaller eggs when she first begins producing, with egg size naturally increasing as the bird matures.
From Wikipedia
Humans and other hominids have consumed eggs for millions of years. The most widely consumed eggs are those of fowl, especially chickens.
