What breed lays double yolk eggs

Did you ever find any double yolks? I used to by them from a dive bar. They always had them too.

We stopped at a place called Diane's Resale in Sieverville Tenn. And bought a dozen of his double yolk eggs and talked to one of the owners and he said he sells around 75 dozen a week. And so far every egg is a double. I'm going to find out what chickens he has.

Glenn Drowns claims on his website that his Delawares are prone to laying double yolkers:

Delaware (AMB): ...Over the years, I've attempted to select for large-sized eggs. Over-selection for this trait continues to lead to problems as we get too many jumbo size eggs that are double-yolked and, of course, fail to hatch....We are trying to select for the fastest growing and most productive hens, but with reasonable egg size.

My Delawares lay a good many double-yolkers as pullets, but then slow down or stop altogether as they get older.

So you have any Delawaresfor sale?
