An egg weighing less than 40 g is called a Pee-wee egg — the smallest and lightest commercial egg grade.

Egg Weight Classification (Recap)

• Pee-wee: < 40 g ✔
• Small: 40–49 g
• Standard/Large: ~58 g
• Jumbo: >70 g

Pee-wee eggs are most commonly produced by young pullets at the start of their laying career, when the reproductive system is not yet fully mature. They are generally not sold commercially due to their substandard size.
