Eggs: Size
built 289 days ago
All kinds of animals lay eggs. Fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and birds usually lay eggs. There are even two different mammals, the platypus and the echidna, which lay eggs. Eggs vary in size, shape, and color. Some are hard and brittle, others are pliable and leathery. Eggs can be found nestled in a bed of grass, buried in the sand, dangling on a string deep in a cave, or floating in a jelly like mass in a pond.

The first appearance of eggs in the Pokémon video games was in Pokémon Snap. In this game, the eggs of the three legendary birds can be found and hatched. All three eggs are very large, appearing to be about the same size as the ZERO-ONE, which suggests the size of an Egg increases with the general size of the Pokémon species.

Chicken eggs are graded according to the size of this air cell, measured during candling. A very fresh egg has a small air cell and receives a grade of AA. As the size of the air cell increases, and the quality of the egg decreases, the grade moves from AA to A to B. This provides a way of testing the age of an egg: as the air cell increases in size, the egg becomes less dense and the larger end of the egg will rise to increasingly shallower depths when the egg is placed in a bowl of water. A very old egg will actually float in the water and should not be eaten.[13]

Oftentimes, in the U.S., eggs are classified according to the USDA grading system and bear a label of AA, A, or B. This grading is an indicator of quality parameters, including freshness, with AA being of the most superior in quality. Eggs are ... labeled according to their size-extra large, large, medium and small-which is graded according to a standard.
