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 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.

*** 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.

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