How do you get the hens to lay standard size eggs?

Does anyone pay the least attention to the weight?

And do recipes still say “two eggs” or do they say “such-and-such grams of eggs”?

It will be illegal to show both, apparently.

I think what they are targetting is the use of terms like Medium, Large, Extra Large eggs etc, which are misleading, whereas with weight you know what you are getting.

The EU regulation prohibits putting the number on the package along with the weight -- must be just the weight showing.

That brings up another question. How can you even have packaging, since every random dozen eggs will vary in weight a little?
