Ooo exciting! Those make me feel bad for the chicken because they're so huge. But that only lasts until I eat the double-yolker. Yum yum I love them.
I especially appreciate home-made double yolkers because it keeps me from getting stares at the grocery store. I used to pick them out of multiple egg cartons at the store, and make my own 12 pack of double-yolkers. Even the idea of people thinking I was a crazy-lady didn't deter me from spending 10 minutes in the egg section examining each egg

You know it's bad if Wal-Mart employees think you're weird.
Oh geez... all these years I could have been picking my own double yolkers? Now you tell me, sheesh Pele!!
By the way, how long after they begin to lay do you usually see a double yolker? Pearls little brown eggs are getting a tad bigger, but it's only been 9 days.
It varies, but mine started laying double yolkers in their second month of laying. It happens about twice a week now, and I think that it's from the same big-butt bird Darla. She's the one giving the camera the eye in my very first post.
tbonekel, grats on your first egg! It IS a really beautiful one! What bird layed it?
Mommymagpie, I'll tell you my secret if you promise not to notice how OCD a person would have to be to track small variations in grocery store eggs
. You have to look in the Jumbo class eggs, because as you've pointed out, the double-yolkers are huge. You look for unusually large (even for a Jumbo) egg that is slightly extended on one end. It's hard to explain, but the egg won't be the classical egg shape, but slightly off. As long as you don't mind being stared at at the grocery store, you can inspect the jumbo eggs next time. It's pretty easy once you spot your first one. That's how that lady in England was able to crack 42 double-yolkers in a row. I can't even imagine how long she collected them, or spent being in people's way in the egg aisle.
