美国西弗吉尼亚州的一位牧师近日在自家农场里收获了一枚长2.1厘米、重3.46克的鸡蛋，比一美分的硬币稍大一点，牧师称这可能是世界上最小的鸡蛋。据悉，目前吉尼斯世界记录中最小的鸡蛋为2.7厘米，今年5月英国曾有人提出有一枚2.5厘米的鸡蛋。弗吉尼亚州农业部已经测量了这枚鸡蛋的尺寸，不过这位牧师还未决定是否要为其申请吉尼斯世界记录。他打算将这枚鸡蛋妥善保存，并以自己两个孙子的名字为其命名。 A West Virginia man is laying claim to one of the world's smallest chicken eggs. Whether it's a record remains to be seen. The Reverand Donnie Russell said he found the egg last month on his farm. It's 2.1 centimetres long, or a bit bigger than a penny, and weighs 3.46 grams - a little more than one-tenth of an ounce. 'It's really something. If you want to know the truth, I can't put it into words,' Mr Russell said. Mr Russell, of Raleigh County, said his wife is an animal lover and she's collected cats, geese, ducks, chickens and other types of birds over the years. Normally, the chicken eggs are donated to people from the Rock Creek Community Church, where Mr Russell is the pastor. 'Lo and behind, we went out and gathered these eggs. We had to do a double take. We both looked with our mouths open for about five minutes before we said a word. We said this has got to be a record.' |
