Well fellas something weird happened to me. My mom hardboiled some eggs and when I peeled the one and started eating it yesterday, it had 2 yolks in side. Out of the 10000000 eggs I have eaten I have never seen this. Then today at lunch I grab another one and guess what???? Another double. They were probably chickens grazing the chernobyl pastures or something because they looked more like siemiese twins than true individual twins.
(Bored at work obviously)
"Double yolks" actually occur with some regularity. They are usually weeded out during the packaging process; I get most of my eggs farm fresh eggs from some friends (alliteration unintended) and I often find about 1 a dozen thats a double yolk.
(Bored at home, maybe not so obvious) :lol:
One can purchase entire cartons of 'Double Yolkers' in certain supermarkets
Wow you learn something everyday. Here I thought it was some ultra rare thing with chickens. I was watching this show called "taboo" on the discovery channel once and it was all about strange foods eaten by certain cultures and I think it was in Korea or something where they eat like fully matured eggs that were just days from hatching. It was about the sickest thing I have ever seen but they seemed to like it.
btw boondock it looks like you ate both of those yolks hardboiled and did not chew them...just an observation!
Well I did the same to a 3rd one 2 days ago. These chickens around here are poppin out twins like crazy. Anyway hopefully I will soon be growing a third ball because of it lol. The triball!!!!!!

Possibly. We will see how long it takes for the 3rd one to get comfortableQuote:
