Good, I'm not the only one.
Maybe it's a Pastel thing. Mine is NERD line male to normal female.

The top egg is MASSIVE, and the one under it is also pretty big. (Yeah, that's one LONG egg)

Those aren't large. They are typical.

Yup, 99g is on the small size of average. My eggs range in weight from about 90g up to 125g in weight.

Thanks for the reply. I have had alot of ball eggs, probably no where near either of your numbers, and they usually averaged 80-90 grams. All from fat females too. Maybe its something in the water! LOL Anyway I am tickled to see them. But anytime I see new eggs I still get worked up.
