Chicken egg with more than 70 g weight is known as:

  1. Pee-wee egg
  2. Jumbo egg — Correct Answer
  3. Large sized
  4. Normal egg
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Jumbo egg

Eggs are classified by weight into different grades. A chicken egg weighing more than 70 g is classified as a Jumbo egg — the heaviest commercial grade.

Egg Weight Classification
  • Pee-wee (Undersize): Less than 40 g
  • Peewee/Small: 40–49 g
  • Medium: 50–57 g
  • Standard/Large: 58 g (standard egg used in all quality measurements)
  • Extra Large: 64–70 g
  • Jumbo: More than 70 g
Why Other Options Are Wrong
  • Pee-wee — the smallest egg category (<40 g), opposite of jumbo.
  • Large sized — a mid-range category, not the >70 g category.
  • Normal egg — not a standard classification term for >70 g eggs.
