fluffyknickers Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Nugget will have been laying a week tomorrow and on Thursday and today laid 80gram eggs both of which have had two yolks in. Is this ok? Is there something I am doing thats causing it? Is it just something that happens and doesnt cause any problem at all and happens a lot? Just wondered as dont want to be missing any signs. Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Double yolkers - yummy! It is quite normal for a hen newly laying to lay some doubles, also older hens at this time of year, their output seems to hit a peak so you may get some whoppers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&T Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 We have had some enormous ones the last week 92g from our Gingernut - my OH's eyes were watering as he looked at it! Interesting that it is to do with the time of year. Unfortunately no double yolkers so far... Hoping for one soon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Dory laid a v.large egg for her today so I am wondering whether that's a double yolker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 You lucky thing, nothing to worry about, but certainly something to brag about on here. I still haven't had one yet so I'm very Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Lucky you! We haven't had a double yolker in months. Just a blip in a new layer. Nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
