YOUNG Samuel Boonstra was pretty excited when the freshly laid egg he collected wouldn't fit into an egg carton.

Now his mother Kelly reckons the egg could be the biggest in the world.

The gigantic cackleberry weighs a whopping 214 grams and was delivered by a courageous mother hen at the Boonstra's Crabtree home, 25km south west of Hobart, on Monday.

Samuel, 7, yelled at his mum that the egg was so big it would not fit in the egg carton

"I just thought it was another double yolker, until I saw it," Mrs Boonstra said.

The excited mother contacted the Guinness Book of Records but has to wait six weeks for the record to be verified.

Large eggs sold in supermarkets weigh between 57-64g. The Crabtree egg has easily beaten the Australian record, a 160g effort from a WA hen. The world record is a Chinese hen that laid a 201g egg.
