A couple weeks ago around 6:45am I was awoken from a deep sleep to a BAWK BAWK BAWK BAGAWK! It went on for a few minutes so I got up to look out the window to make sure the chickens was secure in their coop. Everything looked ok and after a few minutes she stopped. About an hour later I sent Tony out to check things out and he came back in the house with this fantastic egg!Isn't it huge?? I guess this is why the hen was so noisy. She was sure proud or sore about this egg! When we cracked it open this is what we found. Double yolk, awesome.Since then I have received 3 more the same size. All having double yolks! It's the simple things that make me happy.

Oh I remember those days! Loved my double yolks. Usually when hens begin to lay you'll see the gorgeous double, but... those poor chickens, lol! Thanks for linking up Sara!
ReplyDeleteI always feel like a double yolk is like the prize at the bottom of the cereal box! It's such a pleasant surprise.
ReplyDeleteI hope our hens lay some when they begin to lay.
We haven't gotten any double yolks YET! I sure hope we do!
ReplyDeleteI remember picking up eggs on my aunt farm when I was a kid, and whomever get the double yolk for breakfast was the winner. It was so exciting as a child to crack eggs for breakfast and find a double yolk. So exciting.
ReplyDeleteIt's like seeing a double rainbow! :)
