Sometimes it’s the simplest things that bring us joy.

I always buy jumbo eggs. They are usually the same price or cheaper than the Banty eggs they pass off as large or extra large eggs. This morning making breakfast I cracked the remaining four eggs from a dozen. I had gone eight for eight double yokes so with breathless anticipation I cracked each egg. All double yokes. I had gone 11 for 12 a few times but this was my first 12 for 12 with double yokes.

Have to find joy where you can.

My granddaughter used to get a thrill when she'd get a double-yolker for breakfast. when she was younger.

We keep chickens and the 5-7 month old birds that have just started laying lay double-yolkers pretty consistently. The eggs are easy to tell by the larger-than-normal size. I never told my granddaughter but I'd save the eggs likely to be double-yolkers just for her.

Your post brought back good memories, thanks. And you're right, it's good to find joy in the simple things.

My buddies been giving me lots of eggs...turkey, chicken and duck.
So far out of 4 dozen duck eggs all have been double yokers except 2. And one of those was a triple

Double yokes primarily come from young chickens that are first starting to lay eggs.

I have 22 hens that have been laying since June. I get a couple double yolk eggs almost every day. I have 15 hens that have been laying about 18 months. I still get a double yolk egg every now and then from them. I got my first egg inside an egg from one of them. I thought it was a triple yolker because of it's size. I hard boiled it because I thought it'd make a cool picture with three yolks in it. It had an egg with a shell inside and just egg white on the outside layer. I don't know how to post pictures or I'd post a couple pictures of it.

I’ve never had an egg inside an egg, but I have had tiny eggs with no yolk in them.



My granddaughter asked me to fry that one up for her even though I told her it probably didn’t have a yolk in it. So I did.

Yes, I've had those tiny yolkless eggs before. They seem more prevalent in the last few years for some reason. I don't know why. I replace my layers every 12 to 20 months depending on how they are laying. I've had layers since I got married in 1985. Still learning things about them.

We get a batch of new chicks every other spring. By the time they start laying in September the 2.5 year old birds are slowing way down and are butchered.
