Aren't those double yolkers neat? I have some Golden Buffs, and they occasionally lay a really big egg that is a double yolker. It just happens occasionally. I think, there's no rhyme or reason to them, you just get them once in a while. I'm sure some breeds lay them more often than others though. I just look at getting the double yolkers as a fun bonus!

yah the double yolker was really neat we brought the eggs in and my wife was antsy about using them right away since she has never had fresh eggs like that(or anything not from a store) and when i cracked it open and out came 2 it was like christmas

Our first egg from our group of 8 hens was a double-yolker..

Very cool indeed !!!

jm, the pic in my avatar is a double egg.....I love those.

Take a look at this post! https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=385087

It's an egg inside an egg......you will see some strange eggs now that you have chickens.....wrinkly eggs, tiny eggs, eggs with just the membrane and no shell.....it's crazy!

they are so much fun to get, my boys love them, it has always made me wonder why that was not bred for. There for a while I was getting 2 a week, I think I got one yesterday.

I've always wondered (and this is probably the ONLY place I might get an educated answer

)... if you let a double yolker hatch do you get twins

and can they both survive

?!? Just wondering?
