    Triple yolked egg!

    I had never heard of triple yolkers either! I'm not sure which hen laid the egg as I have 9 laying! I did some research and this is one of the articles I found: Double-yolk eggs Double-yolk eggs occur when ovulation occurs too rapidly, or when one yolk becomes joined with another yolk. These...

    I purchased them from a Flock Swap and the guy didn't offer any information on what he was feeding them. My husband said all they ever fed their chickens when he was growing up was scratch feed. Well after a lot of research, I found out that they require much more than scratch feed. We...
