I've had quite a few double yokes for some reason or another. I gathered eggs one time where the hen flew off the nest, and laid a egg without a shell. My DH said I scared her. LOL I've cleaned a chicken where there were eggs waiting for the shells. Haven't done any of those things for many moons.

not often but it does happen. twice in a week seems rare.

an egg without a shell. I'd never heard that.

I opened one with a double yoke last week. When I lived on a farm and raised chickens we had them quite often.

When I lived in Japan, I brought home a pack of eggs from the supermarket and all ten of them had double yolks. I wasn't sure if I was impressed or afraid!

When the eggs are candled they probably are taken out. Only now the factory must use lights to see through the shell. Raising chickens and buying farm eggs I've had a good many. When the kids were small there was always an argument over who got the double yolkers.

We have our own chickens & many of their eggs are double yolked. It's a nice surprise to get them.

My niece has chickens and so she gets them quite a bit. I used to buy my eggs from an egg farm and if I got the jumbo eggs they were common and the yolks were a lot darker too. The egg farm had a great reputation.

I have never dressed a chicken (wanted to kill a few for coming after me). Nor have I cleaned a fish. My DH knows if I have to do those things we will become vegetarians in a big hurry. He is lucky I can take the parts out the whole chicken when it comes from a store.

Saw them growing up because Mom had her own chickens and she kept the eggs in cool basement until the egg case was full (30 dozen) We ate lots of eggs and she made many angel food cakes (not box kind). Double yolks are No big deal to me, but I can imagine it could shock some. Yolks, it is. Never in my life have I seen an egg 8 pack though so you got me there !

I've had many over the years. I crush the shells and put in the yard for the birds to eat and they do. First though, they should be rinsed with boiling water to kill any bacteria.
