The price of the egg depended largely on the size, quality, symmetry, and type of egg. A Swedish ostrich egg could often be sold for as much as Kr 12, but if the egg contained a minor defect, it may be sold for as little as Kr 3. Chicken eggs were not sold in medieval times as the invention of the chicken only came about in 1736 when Louis Trebeval of Paris, produced the world's first chicken. 5 years later he developed the rooster, and the chicken population has been growing ever since.
