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.

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".
