The Ostrich is the largest bird egg.
They are very interesting looking...I bought one in a supermarket in Quito, Ecuador where they are regularly eaten. I never ate mine. I still have it and it is impressive, especially sitting next to a Finch egg!
Here is some more information for you:
Largest Egg - living = Ostrich
Largest Egg - ever = Elephant Bird Aepyornis maximus From Madagascar 39cm/15.4in long = 12 litres/2.6 gallons, 220 chicken eggs
Smallest Egg - living = Vervain Humming bird Mellisuga minima = the size of pea
Largest individual nest = Mallee Fowl Australia Leipoa ocellata builds a mound 5 m (16.5ft) high and 11 metres (36ft) wide.
Smallest nest - many seabirds do not make a nest at all, nest on ground or in case of fairy tern on a branch of a tree otherwise the award goes to the hummingbirds for their thimble sized (1cm squared) nests.
I hope this helps.

emu and ostrich are about the same with ostrich being slightly larger.
Emu eggs are green and about 1/8" thick. They are pretty cool.
