We got our first egg a couple of weeks ago and ate it immediately. It was small and delicious and had 1 yolk. Since then it's taken a while for the girls to get going. Got a couple of soft shelled ones that we had to toss. Then they started 1 at a time. We're up to 2-3 a day now and I think it's only about 4 of the 8 that are laying them (the other 4 girl's combs aren't bright red yet and it seems like I read somewhere that they stay pale until they start laying? or did I make that up?) Anyway we've been saving the eggs so we the 3 of us could have a good breakfast. Well this morning I got out 6 of our fresh eggs for some scrambled eggs. The first one was long and skinny and had two yolks (which I kind of suspected because of its shape). I've always heard about double yolks but it was the first time for me to actually witness it. So I cracked the next one (which was normal shape and size) and it, too, had 2 yolks. And so did the next one, and the next one, and the next one. The last one only had one yolk. So 5 out of 6 had double yolks. Is this normal or do I just have some special chickens?
