One of them has been laying for a week. The other just started today. Can you spot the difference?

Don't worry, I can teach you stuff about nature and countryside things. I even have horses you can pat.
OP: I am so jealous you have chickens. I want chickens!

It was, in fact, a double-yolker. I wonder if she's just been putting off laying until the renovation was over....

A number of years ago I bought the usual dozen at the grocery. Every single one was a double yolk. I think that was the last time I had a double yolk egg.
Congrats on your girls doing their job!

I was once a Candler Line Operator for a commercial poultry research farm in N.H.
That's not supposed to happen. Those eggs were meant to be together, but they weren't meant to go to market.

I think there are some egg production places that have no objection to sending double-yolk eggs to market. When I get extra-large eggs there are always at least two double-yolks per dozen. I have no problem using them, except for deviled eggs it's a bit odd.

Thank you. We're very proud. We're looking at private school placement lists for it, just to be safe. It's really - I don't like to brag, but-
Some eggs are just a little bit special aren't they?
:blush:
ETA: I mean - all eggs are special, obviously, in their own way. But some are just specialler. You know what I mean.

One or even two per dozen is standard. A dozen together suggests that they were candled and meant to be used for breeding stock.
You can make money on double-yolk eggs for specialty restaurants and certain kinds of baking.
