It's not widely known but the whites are actually the part that becomes the bird, the yolk is the source of food that sustains it and helps it grow.
Well this has taken me off guard
I have some chickens that just started laying a few weeks ago, so far I've found two with double yolks. Cool stuff!
Oh fun! I’m surprised it’s not more rare than that
My understanding is this kind of thing is more common in birds that recently started laying. Combine that with the fact that birds tend to be kept with other birds of similar age and it’s not uncommon for a package of eggs to have either no double yolks, or multiple instances of double yolks. I’ve never seen a dozen eggs with just one double-yolk.
That makes sense, my two laying hens are the same age, while my other hen and my roo are younger. And I've only been getting eggs from them for a month or two.
Apparently you can buy packs of just double yolk eggs
But…but how would you know before you crack?
They shine a bright light through the egg to see if it's a double
This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
