About a month ago I remembered that I needed some eggs whilst shopping, so I picked up half a dozen extra large, free range eggs.
I was amazed to find that every one of them had double yolks!
Longy, It’s funny you should say that as the two laying hens lay different sized eggs. One lays a large egg, the other lays a medium egg.
Although, l got the two together from the man l always get them from, one of the hens has grown slightly bigger than the other.
It's good to know they know their roles (or is it rolls?)

I've done that as well & a chicken farm actually sell double yolk eggs, those are huge. I have bought them.
I can imagine Harbal going into meltdown at the discovery of a double yolker!
Normally I buy "Eggs for Blokes", fair guarantee they will all be double yokers. However after chicken problem production, perhaps it was bringing tears to chicken's eyes, I now have to buy a mixed size egg selection box.

When my parents had a croft back in the 50's my mother cared the hens and she sold the eggs to a grocery van that came every Friday. The eggs paid for the week's groceries. The large double yolk eggs were kept for our own use as they were classed as seconds. Reason was they were too long to fit in the egg containers without getting broken. The large eggs you buy in shops are unlikely to be double yokers.
