It totally depends on where the egg is coming from and how far along it is in development.
An ostrich egg can be about 1.5 kg or over 3 lb.
Humans and fish also produce eggs.
A chicken egg can be a range of sizes depending on the variety of chicken. The average longhorn egg that can be bought in the supermarket can vary between 40-45 g to 65 g.
The typical weight of a large egg is 0.057 pounds.

Don't get confused with weight and mass. The eggs weight, in pounds, is a force. This is how much the earth pulls on the egg. The egg's weight would vary depending if it was on the earth or the moon.
The mass of the egg, however, does not vary. It's the same regardless of where the egg is. Instead of measuring a force, mass measures how much matter the egg is made of.
To find the mass of the egg, all you need to do is use the equation: "Force = mass * acceleration". Rearrange the equation and you get "mass = force/acceleration"
So mass = (0.125 pounds)/(32 feet per second squared). This means the mass of the egg is about "0.0039 slugs". Yep, the unit of mass in the non-standard unit system is the slug.
To confuse you even more, if you see an object whose "weight" is measured in kilograms, you're actually being given the mass of the object. In the standard system, the unit of weight is the Newton.
So in other words: Weight is either in pounds or newtons, and mass is either in slugs or kilograms.
The mass of an egg is 0.0039 slugs, which is the equivalent of 0.0569 kilograms.
In New Zealand, eggs are sold as No6, No7, and so on. This number is the number of hundreds of grams of 1 dozen eggs. Still sold in dozens for convenience in packaging.

How egg float in salt water funfacts?
well an egg can float in salt water because of the mass and density of it makes it easier to float
What happens to egg when soaked in water?
It floats or if it sinks it is fresh and if it goes in the middle it could be rotten or not it depends
What happens when you soak the egg in salt water?
When you soak an egg in salt water it should shrivel or become smaller. This is because the salt water pulls out the existing water from the egg.
Does an egg have more dense then water?
The density of liquids really depends on the suspended matter in it. If you have really dense concentration of salt in water, yes it could be denser than an egg. If you have merely a weak solution of salt, then the egg is denser... it depend on how much salt you have in the water.
When does the salt concentration float an egg?
When the buoyancy force(density) of the concentration is high enough to support the mass of the egg.
Why does the egg float in salt water?
Egg float in water because the mass of the water is less than the mass of the egg.
Why rotten eggs float in water?
As the egg decomposes, the mass of the egg is reduced. This is because the egg shell is porous and water vapor and gases can escape over time, reducing the mass of the egg. If the mass of the egg is less than the mass of the volume of water displaced by the egg, it will float.
Why does a egg float in slat water?
Because the mass of salt water displaced by the egg is equal to the mass of the egg (Archimedes' Principle). If the water were pure it would weigh less and maybe the egg would then sink because it could not displace its own mass of water.
Why do rotten eggs float in water?
As the egg decomposes, the mass of the egg is reduced. This is because the egg shell is porous and water vapor and gases can escape over time, reducing the mass of the egg. If the mass of the egg is less than the mass of the volume of water displaced by the egg, it will float.
How does osmosis occur in an egg cell?
Osmosis occurs in an egg cell if you place it in liquids. If you put it in vinegar, the egg's shell will start to dissolve. Then, you can test osmosis in water or salt water. Because the egg is considered a cell, it will swell the egg cell with plain water (meaning it will increase the egg's mass). With salt water, the egg cell will shrink in mass.
What makes an egg soaked in water get bigger?
Eggs soaked in distilled water will gain mass and appear dramatically swollen. Eggs in dilute salt solutions will gain mass, and even those in very concentrated solutions might gain mass. Eggs buried in salt or other dry media should lose mass.
Why does an egg float when salt is added?
Adding salt to the water increases its density. On adding certain quantity of salt, the density of water becomes greater than that of egg. So by law of flotation, as the mass of water (salted) displaced by egg is greater than its own mass, the egg floats.
Does vinegar have the same water concentration as an egg?
No, vinegar has a higher concentration of water than an egg. Therefore, if an egg is placed in vinegar, then it will gain mass because vinegar is hypotonic to the egg.

What happens when you put a egg with no shell that's just been in corn syrup into distilled water?
the eggs mass will change the egg will have more mass than before
What steps would you take to determine density of an egg?
You would first determine the mass of the egg. Then you would need to determine the volume of the egg through water displacement. Then you would need to divide its mass by its volume, and that will give you the density.
