I candle eggs and take a good look at the air cell if I find a hidden bunch.
When I used to sell eggs, all the good, large ones were sold. I kept small or dirty ones for us.
There are always silkie eggs here. Takes 3 of those to make a large egg.
After many times cleaning yolk from broken eggs off others, I grew really tired of it and would rather just toss them.
I put out older eggs for the ravens anyway. I've witnessed them chasing off enough hawks to happily feed them occasionally.

Our customers have NO IDEA how we suffer for them! and then, some complain about the 1/2 price cost over what is "supposed to be" free range, FRESH eggs. I have been known to have a "hen shutdown" going on when they ask for more.
