According to Stig, his hens usually lay eggs in the folding class 60 to 75 grams. That a hen is laying an egg of 110 grams is therefore something of a feat.
- It's great that a hen can hatch such an egg, says Stig.
Which of Stig Johansson's eleven chickens that have laid the colossal egg is a mystery at the time of writing. However, this is not the first time mastodon eggs have been raised in Småland. Five years ago, SVT talked about a chicken in Björköby that laid an egg of 122 grams.
Grass and nettle the secretStig Johansson has had the hen as a hobby for two years. His best tip for getting nice eggs is having plenty of fresh air for the chicken as well as a special diet.
- You should give them grass. And nettles.
What should you do with the giant egg now?
- I'll crack it and fry it.
