Double yoke eggs

[nic8407]

Has anyone noticed what I have. I'm new to chickens, but I've noticed that at some point as each of my pullets start to lay eggs (not necessarily right away) they at least once lay an extra extra large egg that always has 2 yokes in it. It always looks like it musta hurt coming out! For my birds I think it only happens once for each one?? A curiosity I guess

It may happen only once to some birds but I have a hen who has layed jumbo eggs and double yolkers ever since she started two years ago!

I got a lot of double yolkers the first two months my chickens were laying but haven't gotten any since. Some were so huge... I really felt sorry for the girl who had to squeeze it out!

I agree> When my pullets first started laying I got several double yokers but bave not gotten any since!
