My girls have been laying for about 1 month now. Today I got the largest egg yet. It was from my plymouth rock and is twice the size of any of the other eggs. I was surprised she could get it out. I have also been getting 2-3 double yolk eggs a week. I believe from the plymouth rock and my buff orpington.

Should I be concerned about the size and number of double yolks they are laying? Anything I should do to prevent it?

Thanks

I just got a double yolk egg yesterday it happens I don't think you can do anything to stop them.
 
not at all. my kids absolutly love the double yolkers. they call those eggs "the twins". it will eventually end. ours did. don't worry about it. they are still good eggs
 
We consider the double yolkers bonus eggs. MMMM, fresh eggs for breakfast with extra yummy yolk!
 
Thanks. I wanted to make sure it was not overly taxing for them to lay them. I honestly think the huge egg laid today may have 3 yolks. I am trying to eat them in order of lay date so I'll have to wait to see.
