We have our own chickens so it happens frequently. I think it is when chicken is a new layer.

I have seen a sign at the end of a farm lane advertising double-yolk eggs. Always wondered how they got them so consistently that they could be sure of a supply.

To the best of my recollection, I have never gotten one, but that's just as well. I limit my yolk consumption for cholesterol's sake. If I make a three egg omelet, the dogs get two of the yolks. They are always delighted.

My husband always buys the biggest eggs they offer. so maybe that explains the double yolks.
if I remember biology correctly...those eggs are not fertilized, so no chicken abortions - just good source of nourishment for mankind.

I think we need to read about the newest thing on egg yolks. The cholesterol in the yolks is good for you IF it is eaten with the whites. A lot of things we were told a few years back is just not true. Now we are suppose to eat butter, eggs and lard. I've lost 30 pounds doing this. These things make me not feel hungry. I had no idea I was losing weight for about 6 months. That was not my goal. What I had to give up was sugar. That is what is making us all fat.

Eggs labeled free range, it's common to find double yolks. My grandmother raised chickens. After gathering the eggs, she would separate the double yolk eggs from the others. I use to check the gathered eggs for her. You uses a candle to check them. The taste of free range eggs can't be compared to the massive chicken laying houses. If I can't find local fresh eggs that get to roam and peck the grass I buy free range. Cage free doesn't mean anything so don't think you are buying from happier chickens. LOL

We had a little party store near us when I was younger, a lot of their eggs had double, I don't like the whites, the texture is the turn off, so I always got my eggs there, I was in heaven , lots of yellow, yummy, I eat sensible but somethings going to kill me, and I enjoy what I like, Life is to short to live it miserble. enjoy an egg, eat butter, sweets once in a while,
