Double yolker!!!!!!

[kettle chickens]

Hi all

Is it normal to have a hen that consistently lays double yolk eggs. I have a blue belle that is approx 21 weeks only and only just started laying 4 out of the 6 eggs she has laid have had double yolks.

Is this normal??

Some will do that, especially in the spring, though it's unusual for them to keep doing it.

They are huge too compared to the first 2 that she lay

Hopefully she can keep handling them, they must hurt.

Update to my original post, my bluebelle is still producing double yolk eggs every time... should I be worried???

There's nothing you can do about. If she keeps doing it she's probably stretched out enough that they aren't a problem for her.

Is the blue bell a high production bird?
I had a production hybrid mix that laid a lot of double yolkers the first couple months.
