How to Use this Egg Size Comparison Generator

The tool is actually quite easy to use. You just need to choose a bird from the dropdown list and add its egg to the chart for size comparison. With respect to removing any figure, you can achieve that under the ‘Remove’ tab.

Please note also you can modify the position of any figure on the chart by dragging.

It’s worth noting there is a maximum number of 8 figures that can be added to the chart along with a bird figure. Of course, you can always remove existing figures if you reach the limit and want to add new ones.

In order to get the best visual results for comparing egg sizes, try to do the following:

  • When using a mobile device, make the view horizontal (i.e. landscape orientation)
  • Access the tool from a computer or large tablet if at all possible

We also included a hen figure that can be added to the chart for size reference.

For more accuracy and consistency, all the data were retrieved from the book Birds’ Eggs by Michael Walters. It has detailed egg data of many bird species, and worth getting if you want to learn more on this subject.

Please note that both the length and diameter of the eggs are taken into account in order to have a more accurate size.

Conclusion

Whatever birds eggs you want to compare the size between, this accurate online tool will help you out. You just need to choose the desired bird species to add their egg to the chart. There is also a hen figure in case you need it for the comparison.

It’s worth mentioning the chart axis shows the height measurement in both metric (i.e. centimeters) and imperial units (i.e. inches). So, you won’t need to worry about unit conversion.

Feel free to let us know if you find any size that’s inaccurate so we can correct it. Also, we would love to hear any suggestions or questions about the tool.
