HELP!!! Double yolk eggs!?!?!

[jj126]

Is this normal? Our hens just started laying and this is the first time we have {EVER} eaten any of their eggs and to my surprise two of the eggs I opened had double yolks. I know which hen they can from and I have NEVER in my life seen this. Are they ok to eat?

Thanks.

Double yolks are common with young pullets that haven't "worked out the kinks" in their egg-laying apparatus yet and with old hens. Our first egg had 3 yolks. Kids argued over who got to eat it.

Oh ok. Thanks so much!! I thought we had a "weird" egg laying hens or something. LOL!!

ON a side note...My hubby loves the yolks so this is a BONUS for him!

YAY!

My new birds aren't laying yet, but I remember double yoked eggs when I was a child and we had chickens. We always considered them a bonus. They are perfectly OK to eat and from what I understand, normal in younger hens. Enjoy...make Hollandaise Sauce!

Honey, all the help you need is a skillet and some toast!
Double yolkers are a fabulous (albeit temporary) bonus from new layers.
Last year, I saved all mine for "figure 8" devilled eggs at Thanksgiving. They were a huge hit!

Enjoy!

I tell my kids the double-yolkers are good luck. I'm now starting to believe it myself.

What a Great Idea! I will be saving some on mine to try this out. Thanks for sharing

Got my first over the weekend. The actual egg was no larger than any other standard "large". Daughter #2 made some scrambled with them!

Don't freak out! Double yolks are a sign of young pullets still working out the egg laying process. Congratz, hope you get more!
