Cate in NZ Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Double yolkers are so special aren't they.... like an extra present when you crack them open and find the extra yolk One of my girls laid quite a few when she first came into lay, but I think that was her system settling down and working out what to do because we've not had one for ages now.

Beauty-Box Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 One of ours lays double yolkers every so often. You can tell by just looking at them that they are going to be double yolkers by the size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hi, I've had 2 doubles in the last couple of weeks and was really excited but when I told the chap across the street he said it wasn't a good thing and on his father's farm they got rid of the chickens that laid them as it was a sign of ill-health! Anyone know if this is true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 we had a very small double yolker just before we went away - the second yolk was about the size of a 20p coin. That was Geri's egg - all that escaping............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Our chickens laid most double-yolks in the first few months they were laying. I don't think we've had any doubles for over 6 months now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
