Nice!!!

Got my first double-yoker on Saturday too. My sweet little EE laid it. She sat in the nest box for about an hour after she laid it. I was finally so concerned, I picked her up to check her backside. She was fine. Gave her a handful of meal worms which she inhaled and scampered off to play with her sisters.

I had a hen that laid a double yolker a day! She stopped and turned normal, though.

So ,would it hatch if fertile, just wondering?

It's VERY rare for tehm to hatch, and even more rare for both chicks to survive.

All four of my hens are Barred Plymouth Rocks. This is my second double yolker so far.

TheSpiceGirls: I wish I had an EE...their eggs are so pretty!

Oh, thank you. Yes, their eggs are super pretty. And I don't know why but super easy to peel when I hardboil them. Even when they are super fresh. But my EE doesn't see well and she is a SPAZ. She's entertaining and I'm glad we got her cuz she lives in a protected run and her sisters love her. But she is a strange bird.
