Why?
Well I am going to worm the girls (chucks) also for project pig and project bee.
And I wondered what the weight of an egg should be.

You're plannign to get eggs from pigs and bees ?? :shock:
Our eggs prob average about 90g but the biggest might challenge those scales. They can approach 120g :)

Doesn't say if the weights are with or without the shells!
Are you going to weigh your girls? & how do you weigh a bee?

It also depends on the chicken! Some will always lay smaller eggs (av 50g) some will consistently lay whoppers - and it doesn't depend on the size of the bird either! :D
