That is the weight of my ill Araucana hen, I guess you got mixed up with Senecas egg laying issue.

But you posted:
Actual weight is 1.780 grams. Maybe that was supposed to be 1.78 kilograms??


Tonya, I'm so sorry that Seneca isn't going to make it, especially after everything you've done to try to save her.

Onethousandsevenhundredandeighty grams are the same as 1.78 kilograms.

At least here in Germany.

Ah!!!! It is the old "you do it this way, we do it that way" thing!!!
In the USA (and some other places I suppose) the thousands separator is a comma not a period. So here it would be 1,780 grams.

Why isn't 1.78 kilograms there one thousand seven hundred eighty kilograms if 1.780 grams is one thousand seven hundred eighty grams?

How do you denote tenths/hundredths etc? Like 1 and 78/100 of a gram which here would be 1.78 grams? I guess it would be 178 milligrams?

I'm SO CONFUSED!

It really is quite confusing for me too, but the other way 'round. And don't let us start on the Fahrenheit, American or English pounds (lbs) etc.

Well, at least it is entertaining...

To avoid any confusion, I should have written it like this:

1.780,00 grams
