60g is exactly what I want from my flock -- a nice US Large. :)

I don't really care about the looks (though I'm hoping to buy extras and then keep the colors I like best), but I do care about egg size and what age they start laying. I'm hatching some OE crosses, but I'm not keeping anything that's going to take 9 months to lay again.

I weigh my eggs on my regular digital kitchen scale set to grams. I balked at the price of the dedicated egg scales. :) I wasn't looking at Murray McMurray's info specifically, but more at what the original intent of the breed was for -- stuff I've picked up from different sources over time.

What I've learned is that the intent of the WTB was, A. BLUE eggs -- the bluest they could get. B. LARGE eggs -- as in US size large. C. HIGH PRODUCTION of eggs. So, to the best of my understanding, they're intended to be a viable commercial producer of blue eggs for sale in the US mass...

I don't think that the WTBs have a breed standard, but, IIRC, their defining characteristics are really blue blue eggs of large size and high production capability. So, IMO, judging by the eggs would be best. (And I'd be interested in some of those hatching eggs when you're ready).
