Double yolk eggs

You probably won't Lc. I myself have only seen them in Jumbo eggs.

Some of the specialty markets sell them by the dozen, I know that the whole foods near me does.

When we had an egg farm, back in the mid 80s, younger hens tended to produce double yolkers....

I've probably gotten 2 double yolkers from the grocery store since then.

specialty farmer's markets or jumbo eggs-good luck

I get eggs from a local farmer and about 4 out of the dozen are double yolkers.

We have a poultry farm in Hawthorne NJ - They sell them by the dozzen, at least they dis last time I was there about a year ago. Great chicken and turkey too.

Thinking about it, I remember that I went to school with a guy whose family had an egg farm. Perhaps the double yolk eggs were just available in my town (Bedford) because of the local egg farm.

I think commercially I haven't seen them in anything other than jumbos (which I have been boycotting since egg prices went through the roof). But my folks used to get medium and large eggs locally for our restaurant (UP Michigan), and we saw them fairly often. Maybe it does have more to do with the age of the hens?

is it just me or are eggs getting smaller. i buy extra large and they are the size of what a large used to be. i pretty much use them only, never seen a double except in my daughters house. she keeps chickens. babe
