最小鸡蛋现身英国

　　A hen has laid Britain's smallest egg just in time for Easter. Gloucestershire girl Chloe, 15, was collecting eggs at her grandmother's house when she spotted the tiny shell, measuring just 1.3 inches tall and 1 inch wide. An average hen's egg is 2.3 inches tall and 1.75 inches wide, meaning the tiny egg is half the size of a normal one。
　　复活节即将到来之际，英国一只母鸡产下世界上最小鸡蛋。原来，15岁的格洛斯特郡女孩克洛伊在祖母家收鸡蛋，结果发现了这个小小的高3.3厘米、宽2.5厘米的“小不点”。通常一个鸡蛋高5.8厘米、宽4.4厘米，这枚小鸡蛋仅有普通鸡蛋一半大而已。
