Egg kills hen

`The Sponås family in Strande, Molde had a hen that managed to lay an egg weighing 122 grams (4.3 oz), compared to the norm of 50-60 grams, newspaper Romsdal Budstikke reports. It was the last thing the bird did.

“I couldn’t believe my own eyes when she laid an egg that was more than twice the size of a normal hen’s egg. It looked completely unreal, with a 122-gram egg,” Solveig Sponås told the newspaper. [..]

The story ended sadly. As the newspaper put it, it is no joke laying an egg twice normal size, and the hen suffered injuries so serious that it had to be put down.’
