At the moment where i am there’s some shrinkflation nonsense where sometimes they’ll lower the “average total” weight on the “mixed” size eggs but change nothing on the packaging (apart from the weight, on the bottom).
So I’m checking to see if I’ve got a pack of tiny eggs that just rattle around in the packaging.
But i do a rattle check first.
If I’ve got the tiny eggs i just buy a different brand instead (until they change it back)
Your free-range standard hen still has variations when laying eggs. Good on you that you even have the option for mixed cartons and go for total weight, that should be done here as well.

I’ve never seen a carton of mixed size eggs. Around here it’s always S M L or XL packages
Honestly I’d prefer to have a standardised size, but they’re the only eggs at our supermarket that have the maximum ethical standard rating on them.
The medium eggs I buy when these ones have a “shrink week” have a lower rating.
I suspect it’s more to do with supply line issues though, due to correlation with various events in the news.
