How many double yolks have you had?

I went out this morning and I noticed out of the 14 laying hens I have there was 3 HUGE Double Yolk eggs along with 6 lasrge brown eggs in the nesting box! I know it was my oldest Barred rock and a Australop but not sure on the 3rd egg! Today was a great day!

I have never had one double yoker! One really large egg but when I cracked it was normal... Been keeping chickens for a yr..

Never

I've got some sussex and Australorp chicks growing up though and are hoping for some double yolkers from them

I have had mine for about 6 months and I have had 4 total! Today was an awesome breakfast!

We have had chickens since April and have had 2 double yolk eggs, both from one of our EE's. Go Stella!

All of our big eggs are double-yolkers. Since the girls started laying in late October, I think we've had about four.

Out of my six girls my barred rock has given me 3. She just started laying in July. So amazing.

Do only certain breeds produce double yokes? My one hen lays eggs the size of duck eggs but never a double yolk.
