All my eggs are double yolk?

[coltssuperbowl83]

They are all from different breeds of chickens. ?.... RIR , EE, BO, bantam..... so what environmental factors would do that?

How long have they been laying? Hens who have just started laying are more likely to lay a double yolks.

 

[coltssuperbowl83]

They are all about five months. They just started laying.

Yeah that's pretty normal for that age. I got a ton of doubles from my pullets last year. Is it every single egg or just a lot of them? I don't think every egg you get being a double would be normal though.

 

[coltssuperbowl83]

All of them so far.

It's possible since they just started laying, all 3 of our 4 green and blue eggs have 2-3 yolks the first 2 wks of laying now they're all settled to normal one yolk. We had leghorns that were laying gargantuan eggs for a while, we thought they're mutants always had 2 yolks. Then they become normal xL size.

 

[coltssuperbowl83]

Yeah. I was afraid I had mutant chickens

Lol, pretty sure they aren't mutatants. But enjoy the double yolks while you have them

No, not mutants! Normal. Means they are pretty healthy and well fed. Just still getting the internal process in order.
Be happy while it lasts, nothing better than frying up a double yoke egg or two for breakfast, or dinner!

Double yolks are a completely normal thing for new layers. As their systems mature, they will stop releasing multiple yolks. It's kind of sad when it stops.
