Mandy Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'd only had my chickens for 3 weeks and 2 days when on Sunday I found a big (75g) egg! It was a double yolker! My two Omlet hens have been brilliant and I'm so pleased with them - both are happy and laying and I usually get two eggs per day. On Saturday I didn't get any eggs but on Sunday I got the double yolker! Does it tend to happen that if they don't lay one day, they do a double the next? Also, I've seen pictures on this forum of some huge eggs - has anyone had more than two yolks in one egg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 We had lots when our girls were new to laying, we even had one triple. Sadly we don't get them any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Same here, double yolkers were common with my White Star when she came into lay but I haven't had one for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Double yolkers are special, we only had a couple when they started laying. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Cottage Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Had a double yolker in our dinner last week. Gertie laid a lighter egg, then a no-egg day, then a whopper... Clever girl but it must have made her eyes water! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
