Another Jumbo egg today

[Ken H]

My little ISA Browns are really coming through! They are all(4) laying large eggs(2.1 oz -2.25 oz) every day. This is the third Jumbo egg(2.6 oz. or larger) I have gotten since they first started laying on labor day. I have given away 2 dozen eggs and we, the wife and I, eat 3-4 eggs almost every morning. Soon I will attempt to start selling eggs.

Ken, are the jumbo eggs double?

 

[Ken H]

Yes, so far all my jumbos have been double yokers.

I have two that are doing the same thing! I love those HUGE eggs. Today we even got one from an EE. I have gotten three or four that were triple yolks. I sold a dozen a few weeks ago, and the lady said almost all were double yolkers, even though that weren't the jumbo eggs.

what breeds lay double or tripple yolkers? or is it just the type of thing that happens to new laying hens sometimes?

We've had 2 double yolkers from our new layer Molly (she lays every other day and not always a double)...of the 4 Barred Rocks we have she is the latest to lay. We're still waiting on Mimi, the free loader and slow to mature...very much makes herself a "victim".....

what's up with that, I wonder?

My daughter says double yolkers are a genetic thing

I have been getting one of those every day or every other day from one of my RSL's. Good girls's
