Extra large egg

[lagrange chicks]

I have to agree that double yoke eggs can be a sign of reproduction problems since a hen I had laid huge single and double yoke eggs in the beginning of laying. When she was a year or so old she would only lay lash eggs here and there and seemed to developed crop problems also which killed her.

I have had a few double yolkers, but it can be dangerous for the hen to lay them . It could lead to vent damage or be a sign of a reproductive problem. I prefer not to see them.

Over the years I have had a lot of BO. Generally called 'Butter' I had one that lived to 4 years, which is a good spell for me. The first year, she laid almost all were double Yorkers. The second year, a double yolk 2-3 times a week, the third year - 1 in the first week of laying and never another double yolk.
