A hen belonging to the Walter Twitchell family of this town recently laid an egg which may turn out to be the largest hen's egg in history. Their hen laid this astonishing egg on June 16, Mr. Twitchell declared.

When Nate Twitchell discovers that one of his family's hens has laid the biggest egg he has ever seen, he is determined to see it hatch.
