Did you buy extra large eggs or a double yolk carton?
-
Just regular large eggs. Are extra large more likely to be double yolked? Or are there eggs somehow made to be double-yolked on purpose?
-
I was under the impression that yes, but I'm not positive
-
They do sell double-yolkers as a thing. You can shine a light through the shell to identify them, apparently. Higher value product so producers who get enough of them will go to the extra trouble of sorting them.

Now this kind of post makes me feel like I never even left Reddit!

Yes! Less tech, less federation talk, more everyday stuff 😍

My mother once bought me a box of 15 eggs from a little shop on the side of a farm.
All 15 eggs were double yolk.
I dont know the odds of that happening and how it happens.
I told my mother. She didnt sound surprised at all.

It's a genetic trait, so if they kept breeding a twin-maker hen for efficiency alone (if you raise chicks, you get 2 for 1 effectively), that could mean that most of their stock are now laying dual yolks.

Would these have been twins? (If fertilised)
-
Double-yolked eggs would be fraternal twins

Extra toast for you!

I read a newspaper article that a woman cracked 4 double Yolkers into a pan in a row and apparently the chances were like 1 in a trillion
-
I did that a couple weeks ago
-

I once had two triples and seven doubles in the same dozen.
-
Update: I cracked a third egg from the carton today. It was another double yolk.

Does it perhaps say "double yolk" on the carton?
you must be yolking
Lol you crack me up
No, just large eggs. Do deliberately double-yolked eggs exist?
Yeah I've only bought them once and it was unintentional. Living in a place where I didn't fully grasp thr language, I thought I was having the luckiest egg day ever until I translated the carton!
