It's no yolk - a schoolgirl reckons her pet chicken has laid the world’s smallest egg.
它沒有蛋黃耶~一名女學生認為她的寵物雞下了一枚世界上最小的雞蛋。

Shannon Hayes, 12, spotted the minuscule egg, smaller than a 5p coin, next to the ordinary sized-produce in her hencoop.
12歲的尚儂·海斯在她雞棚中正常大小的雞蛋旁發(fā)現(xiàn)了這只微型雞蛋，它比一枚5便士硬幣還小。

And the shell-shocked youngster did research online to reveal the 1.8cm high egg is the tiniest - ever.
她十分震驚。而后她上網(wǎng)搜了搜，發(fā)現(xiàn)這枚高1.8厘米的雞蛋是目前最小的了。

Shannon said: “I’m confident it’s the smallest. It is very tiny - and you wouldn’t want it for breakfast.”
尚儂說道：“我很確信它是最小的。它是那么小，你不會忍心拿它來做早餐?！?/div>

She keeps seven hens which lay eggs at the family home at Capel Iwan, Carmarthenshire - but she’s not sure which laid the thimble-sized egg.
她在卡馬森郡卡貝爾伊萬市的家中養(yǎng)了七只會下蛋的母雞，但她也不能確定是哪只下了那枚頂針般大小的雞蛋。

Her gran Pamela Hayes, 58, said: “When Shannon found the egg she was scared of dropping it when she brought it to the house.
尚儂58歲的祖母帕梅拉·海斯說道：“尚儂在發(fā)現(xiàn)這枚雞蛋后，很擔心她會在將其帶回家的途中摔落它?！?/div>

”We couldn’t believe our eyes because it is just so small compared to all the other eggs.
“我們簡直不敢相信自己的眼睛，因為它和其他所有雞蛋相比實在是太小了?！?/div>

“As far as we can see there is no official world record, but the smallest that we have found so far was bigger.”
“就我們目前來看，雞蛋的大小并沒有一個官方的世界紀錄。但是我們?nèi)缃袼赖淖钚‰u蛋要比發(fā)現(xiàn)的這枚大?！?/div>

In 2011, an American farmer claimed his hen laid the world’s smallest chicken egg, measuring just 2.1 centimetres in length.
在2011年美國一位農(nóng)戶稱他的母雞產(chǎn)下了世界上最小的雞蛋，僅長2.1厘米。

But that was beaten in 2014 by an egg one millimetre smaller in size, laid in Somerset by a hen called Muffin.
但是2014年一枚雞蛋因比它小1毫米而打破了這項紀錄。那枚雞蛋是在薩摩賽特一只叫“小松餅”的母雞下的。

However, Shannon’s perfectly-formed egg is at least two millimetres smaller than that - just 1.8 centimetres in length.
然而尚儂的這顆完美雞蛋僅有1.8厘米，至少比之前的那顆雞蛋小了兩毫米。

She has ruled out making a tiny omelette with the egg - and has put it in the fridge for safe keeping.
尚儂不打算用這只雞蛋攤成一張微型煎蛋餅，她已經(jīng)將它放入冰箱安全儲藏。
