Have you ever seen a chicken egg this big?
Lancaster Intelligence Journal/New Era
(LANCASTER INTELLIGENCER JOURNAL/NEW ERA--Marci Watterson)
Keith and Maryann Frist of New Providence own a hen named Lucy that laid a rather remarkable egg.
The brown egg, measuring 3.25 inches in length, weighed in at 140 grams, or nearly 5 ounces, easily topping the U.S. record of 107 grams, set in 2010 in California.
While the egg laid by Lucy, a Rhode Island Red breed, is enormous, it isn't the largest ever.
A check of egg-laying statistics shows the world record for a chicken egg was set in China; that egg weighed in at 201 grams.
Last week, Maryann Frist said Guinness World Records had accepted her application for further review of the egg; she said she was told it would take four weeks for Guinness to review her case.
In the meantime, she said, the egg is in a sealed bag in her refrigerator.
