China’s Nano Egg Could Be The World’s Smallest Chicken Egg

From left to right, normal egg, micro egg, nano egg

The Guinness World Record for the world’s smallest chicken egg may soon shatter by this nano chicken egg in China. It’s 2cm long and weighs 2.60 gram, barely bigger than a China’s ten-cent coin, which is just slightly smaller and lighter than the world’s smallest egg (owned by an American) by 0.1cm long and 0.86 gram. The nano egg was born by a Malaysian bantam in Chongqing in Southwest China, it’s owned by a 55-year-old hairdresser. More photos after the break.
