Hi everyone!

 

We have 8 hens in total and so far about 90% of their eggs are double yolkers. When we used to buy eggs, they never had two yolks in them so we are wondering if this is normal? are we doing anything wrong? they seem happy and well fed!!

 

thanks in advance for any advice!!!

Lucky you. We've only ever had one and no one who buys our eggs has ever reported one either.

You lucky, lucky pair !!

 

Enjoy ...

 

Kind rgds,

we've been having a few double yolkers as well- hoping for a triple yolker one day soon!

2 of my girls are also fairly regular double yolker providers. I don't know why this happens so I just put it down to good luck!

Show offs

 

Double yolkers are more common when they come into lay apparently. My Rose occasionally lays a double yolker

I've got 2 in the fridge at the moment did have 3 but one ended up in the frying pan saturday big red is the one that lays them, had 21 off her since april 18th when she started laying

you dont see then in the supermarkets because they grade them out. they is a stall in west bromwich indoor market that sells them always have a big bowl full

We had lots of double yolkers when ours were new to laying but they are very rare now.

Yep, as mentioned - double yolkers are common in young POL hens. We dont get any now.
