Ok, so I have 6 chooks, 2 have just started laying.. both of their first eggs were double yokers.. my husband was told that all chickens' first eggs or in the first few will be double yokers! Fact or fiction??
No pressure on the remaining 4 who are due to start laying in the coming weeks... lol

Fiction. Double yolkers, mis-shapen eggs, soft shelled eggs, wind eggs, and many other weird egg-type things are more common in new layers, but I never had a double yolker in any of my chickens up to this point. I have a duck that lays them when she comes back into lay after a molt, though.

Good luck. Enjoy the oddity of the new eggs.
