Double Trouble!
This morning I go to make toast and cook some eggs, 2 eggs over-easy. I take 2 eggs from the carton and I do think they are a bit large, but Mr. gardenlady had bought the XL carton, so I didn't give it much more thought....until....
I cracked the first egg and this is what came out!
Two for the price of one! I"ve heard of a twin egg , but I have never cracked one open ever.
SO, I didn't really need to cook the second egg since I got 2 yolks, but well, I was a bit hungry, so I cracked the next one open too....AND.....
TWO doubles! IN the same carton! It blew my mind.
Breakfast was doubly fun this morning.
HOpe everyone has a doubly fun day as well!
Happy egg-cracking,
@gardenlady

Lol, the very same happened to me just a month or two ago, I think if you get one it's rare to just get one!
sounds like friday night logic, but I'll take it!
It's that time of year. If pullets were hatched in spring, they are just coming into laying. They lay lots of odd things, but double yolkers are common. I've had about 5 or more in the last 10 days.And they always weigh out above Xlg. This morning's was nearly 3 oz.
They don’t seem to be as common as once upon a time.
I haven’t cracked one either but I remember my mother mentioned them more than once when I was a boy.

5 in 10 days? that's amazing!
I have to say, it made me feel rather happy all day long!
Well, there's 18 pullets so.....

I LOVE the double yolked eggs. Haven't seen one in a long time, but many years ago, my husbands father had a friend that raised chickens and had some that laid these frequently, so for a while, we had plenty !
What a fun surprise !
After I commented I saw this was from last year. LOL.... I still like it.
that's okay, i haven't actually posted much at all lately. just thought i'd come over to Hive since more time on my hands with the lockdown ;0)
