Double Yolker Extravaganza...is this normal?!

Yeah! There was a video and everything! Go back to eggzettera's post for the link.

This is good info to know. I have 10 GLW and Orp hens that started laying in November, and we've been getting a lot of double-yolkers. I was wondering why, and thinking maybe it's because of a really good calcium balance.

I'll have to keep an eye on when the double-yolkers start to lessen.

Thanks!

My girls started laying November 15th and have all been progressing well.  I currently am getting 8 eggs a day, I have 18 pullets.

I have a mix of dual purpose standard sized chickens and I have gotten 4 HUGE eggs, two of them in one day, even the EE are has laid one.


I have eaten three of them and all of them were double yolkers.  My hubby thinks this is not normal and there is some 'radioactive sh**' going on out there. /img/smilies/tongue.png


Is this normal for several of them (all from the same hatchery) to lay these jumbo double yolkers?


First one being cooked:

Today in the skillet:

Should I be worried and what can I do to convince hubby that these eggs are ok?

Scramble then
