Chickvic Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 A butchers by us guarantees double yolkers - I assume they're scanned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 it's rare for there to be 6 in one box of shop brought egg due to the scanning and weighing they go through. although Morrisons used to sell doubles a few years back I remember buying them when the Wallsall store first opened.I think there's a stall in the West Bromwich indoor market that sells them.

Gelbel Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I read that article yesterday and thought so what? Back BH (before hens) I regularly got whole boxes of double yokers when I brought locally produced large eggs from Morrisons. I could ALWAYS guarantee at least one per box.

emchook Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I love double yolkers ! They are quite exciting as you dont normally see them . I wish I got more !! I have only had one .. and that was last year when the hens first started laying .. [ correlates to the article about younger hens producing them ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Wow all those twins. I am in minority and upset when I see a double yolk from mine , I get worried about them getting stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
