My first chicken started laying eggs last week (I have one other hen who is not laying yet and am planning to maybe get a few more hens in a few weeks). She has laid 3 in 9 days, and all 3 have been double yolked. I would eventually like to hatch some eggs but I've heard that there isn't a very good chance for the chicks. The hen is a Rhode Island Red, is this common and will she always lay double yolks?
