Every now and then a hen will lay a double yolk egg. Some hens do so quite regularly.

I'd say that's pretty normal. Always kind of fun to see what you get inside when that happens...a double yolker? maybe a triple yoker?

Let us know!

It happens. I even got a triple yoker one time.

Ended up being a double yolker...

Cool about the double.

To give you a size idea I wear a men's size large glove.

Ouch

That's like 2 for the price of 1!

What type of hens do you have? When did they start laying? My reds and barred rocks do it a lot when they start laying and occasionally later, whereas the EE and others will just lay big single yokers that are the size if a double.
