What size egg do you buy?

Recently I have definitely noticed something about the eggs I buy. They are getting bigger... Noticeably bigger....
There's always the smallest egg, the biggest and then the other 10 are average.... Nowadays the smallest is average, the biggest is huge and the rest are all slightly bigger than they used to. I don't know why. Same price, same size, same company.. See I buy them when they're on special. I buy 8 dozens and they last me about a month and a half to 2 months (don't use the expiry date BTW, eggs in a fridge will stay good waaaaay longer than it says on the crate. Been doing this for years. Still alive.
What size egg do you buy and have you noticed a difference?

Are ya tripping?
I actually weigh my food to count calories. Most eggs are the same. Brand matters. I also get some local free range.

Maybe because putting antibiotics in their water is no longer legal. Smart farmers are using herbs with oils or essential oils for their antibiotic properties.

I think it depends on the time frame we're talking. If we're talking in the last 20-30 years I'd say eggs are larger because of the use of antibiotics, hormones, and selective breeding. That's why our birds got bigger.

Yard eggs for me. Some chickens lay small bluish eggs, brown mediums, or big whites. Different cluck different clutch.
