World Record Egg

World Record Egg AG WORLD 28-3-21 A 160-gram chicken egg laid recently at a poultry farm in the Belarussian town of Mir, is thought to be the world's largest and heaviest egg. According to Interfax news service, at more than 1/3 lb. it's almost three times the size of an average chicken egg and outweighs the current Guinness Book of World Records holder by 14 grams. That record has been held for the past five years by a Cuban hen. The giant egg from Belarus is thought to have a good chance of becoming the new record holder and is currently being considered by the Guinness Book of World Records committee. The odds of pinpointing which nestling hen out of 20,000 laid the egg are proving to be poorer, however, but farm managers have narrowed down the possible source of the egg to 2,000 chickens aged around 350 days, according to the report. A veterinarian is protecting the special egg in a refrigerated safe box that also contains other rare eggs, including one of the smallest eggs ever recorded at 15 grams, an egg with three yolks, and an egg shaped like a wooden Russian doll.
