Default Double yoke eggs

In all my many years cooking, I'm 69, I have never opened an egg with a double yoke. Well, in the last 2 weeks I have opened 2. Go figure How often do you all run into double yokes?

I'm half a decade older than you and no double yokes yet. But I did return a cut of fabric in the last two weeks; the first in my 60 year sewing career. Happy Thanksgiving.

When I had a few chooks I used to get quite a few doubles as they got older! Rare to see one in a dozen from the store. Lucky you!

Usually when I buy the flats of eggs I get a few double yolks. My Mom said it was a sign of good luck to find one.

I'm older than either of you, and in growing up in the country where we had our own chickens, double yolk eggs were not common, but frequent enough to not excite anyone. To me it was far more interesting to learn to dress a hen and find multiple small egg yolks inside, waiting to grow into eggs to be laid. I have never seen twin chicks hatched from one of those double yolk eggs. Just think of them as bonuses.

*** I was raised in the country and we would occasionally find one.

*** We had one hen (I guess her calcium was low) and she would lay an egg with
*** No Shell (just the inside sack).

*** We always crushed the egg shells and put in them yard, chickens would eat and
*** help that that problem.

*** Recycled calcium.

2 yrs ago, my dh got me an 8 pack of eggs. 4 of them, 4 had double yolks. I figured, somehow they switched the eggs with single yolk eggs. I went to play the lottery, but no winnings. go figure.

Kitse, what's a chook. thank god i never had to dress a chicken and find eggs inside her. as it is, i can't eat eggs if i have to make them. grosses me out. chicken abortions.

My husband always buys the biggest eggs they offer. so maybe that explains the double yolks.
