A black hen in China lays eggs about one-fourth the size of a normal egg and they also have two yolks.
An 84-year-old retired professor in China's Jiangxi province bought the hen about a month ago, Global Times reported on Sunday.
The owner, who was thoroughly impressed by the hen's unique egg-laying capabilities, has now decided to let it live instead of turning it into a dinner. He said the bird has laid several such eggs after that.
