Stevie Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Sage my Pepperpot started laying on tuesday albeit a small one,but an egg all the same.Wednesday however,she laid a much bigger one-not quite a large,but neither medium. When i went to cook it for my mum earlier along with chips & peas-it was a double yolker!!! I've never ever had one or even seen one for that matter so came as a complete shock considering we were chatting about this at work other day. My mum had the honour!

theherd123 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Double yolkers are just the best! My girls have never laid one but when i chicken sit there is a lovely little girl named Betty who laid one for me - it was delish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicki9 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Well done Sage - double yolkers are the best! We get them on occasion, although one of our regular buyers had two in a week from us! She was delighted and we were gutted we hadn't known! Hope you get to eat the next one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fur 'n' Feathers Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Sage my Pepperpot started laying on tuesday albeit a small one,but an egg all the same.Wednesday however,she laid a much bigger one-not quite a large,but neither medium.

I've never ever had one or even seen one for that matter so came as a complete shock considering we were chatting about this at work other day. Our Krasi started laying on Tuesday as well. Her 3rd egg on Thursday was 59g and a double-yolker It was a lovely surprise. Haven';t seen these since we were kids It went in Fur's omlette yesterday Krasi's laid 6 eggs in 6 days (including the one soft shell yesterday) Not a bad start. Hope your mum enjoyed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Tilytinkle Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Mmmmmmmm how lovely, my hubby would love ours to lay double yolkers & our daughter too would enjoy devouring some fingers of toast with 2 yolks. Lucky Mum, hope she enjoyed it & hope you enjoy many more Ms Tilywouldloveadoubleyolkerortwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisa33 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Yum Yum. My girls used to regularly lay double yolkers when they first started. I haven't had one for months now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Oooh, frying is definitely the best way to do a double. Sylvie and Magpie each do a double yolker per week. Maybe it'll be on your shift Lisa, if you're very lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajm200 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Congratulations... One of ours used to lay a double yolker every other day when she first started. They are great aren't they? After a week or two, she replaced the double yolkers with two soft eggs and now she lays large 80g+ single yolkers - whoppers compared with the eggs we get from the others. I guess her teenage hormones are settling down, We are still waiting for two to come into lay so maybe we'll see the double yolkers again.
