Largest
Chicken Egg-world record set in China
SUIHUA,
Heilongjiang Province, China -- Zhang Yinde
, an employee
of the Forestry Bureau of Suiling County, owns an ordinary
hen which laid a 6.3 centimeters wide and 9.2 cm long egg,
and weighed 201 grams, three times heavier than an ordinary
egg-setting the world record for the Largest
Chicken Egg
.

The Largest
Chicken Egg
it's been kept in the refrigerator
of the owner.
Zhang
told Xinhua that the Largest
Chicken Egg
looks like any other, except that
its shell is a bit rough.
"The heroine hen is a super mother. She laid
three other big eggs previously and once laid four eggs within
one day," Zhang said.
Zhang got the hen as a "bonus" when he bought
10 other chickens from a breeder.
The other chickens have since ended up on Zhang's
dinner table.
The hen has an unusual source of food. "She loves
to walk around my dog's kennel. I guess she's been stealing
the dog's food," Zhang said.
The previous
world record for the Largest
Chicken Egg
was set by a Cuban hen named
"Titi".
