The Great Black-Backed Gull (Larus marinus) has a length of about 28 inches. Its eggs are just over 3 inches long.
The Common Gull (Larus canus) has a length of about 16 inches, and its egg is about 2.3 inches long.
There are lots of excellent facts on British Gulls here:

Select the gull species and find the section headed Breeding and Survival - it gives all the details about egg dimensions and weight, clutch size etc.

I was walking through sand dunes on a beach and found a herring gull nest. There were some eggs on the ground. They were about an inch larger than chicken eggs. They are whitish with brown patches.

Not sure of the weight but I know the size is about that of a small chicken egg.
