Okay so I have the ultimate challenge - I need an adjustable eggcup

Amongst this morning's haul of eggs I had

Wow, that's a good selection of egg sizes!

what do you do with recipes that need 4 eggs.

A serious question though - would you be able to tell the difference between your eggs by taste? ( ignoring the one I assume is a duck egg ).

I have orloffs / orpingtons / light sussex / welsummers & I think I can usually tell the difference.

The texture of the white is very different with the duck eggs.

From top to bottom they are:
a duck egg

a bantam egg
a hen egg
a duck egg
a goose egg

This idea may work if it was in 2 parts with a ratchet system on the bottom for opening/closing

What's wrong with an omelette?

But I can't dip my soldiers in an omelette

You can dip your soldiers in fried egg.

I like that idea

At least your massive egg was from a bigger species. I had an egg today from a Light Sussex that was nearly as big as a goose egg....and no "Egg Song" heard while she laid it! That's one stoical hen
