Double Egg Yolks
Occasionally, we’ll come across with eggs which contain two egg yolks. How about the idea of having a dozen of eggs with double egg yolks?
Surprisingly, these eggs are less expensive ( by $0.50) than the regular eggs with single yolks. They can be found at the local Farmer’s Market. It is probably due to health concerns that not many people would go for double-yolked eggs. Higher cholesterol with more egg yolks in it.
How does it happen? If observed closely at the egg, its shape is longer and thinner than a regular single-yolked egg. This could be a result of a rapid ovulation in hen, or reproductive cycle of a young hen that is not synchronized. Sometimes, this could be due to hereditary cause. Some hens have the tendency to lay double-yolked eggs.
