JUDGING EXTERIOR EGG QUALITY
Shell thickness
The shell should appear thick
enough to withstand reasonable handling without breaking.
Grade A eggs must have thick
shells with no thin spots.
Thin shells or thin spots would place an egg in Grade B.
|
The weak areas can be relatively large, as with this egg |
Or, they can be quite small as with this one. Notice the small, weak area on the small end of this egg (right side of the photo). |
In all cases, the shell must not
be broken.
