Double Yolk Eggs

I haven't seen one since my grandparents farm...+/- 25 years. But today I got two out of one pack of eggs.
This morning while making an omelet:
...and then again this afternoon while boiling some eggs.
Should I buy a lotto ticket? How often do you see the double yolks?

about 3 years ago I was making an omelet and got double yolks on back to back eggs

I see them pretty often...maybe about every third dozen and, many times, if there's one double, there's at least another one in the bunch.

I dont think I have ever seen it and I eat about a dozen a week.

I used to. I wonder if it's something about brown eggs.

My Uncle lives near an egg farm. He buys double yoke eggs. Apparently what happens when the egg house finds them is they either sell them or send them off to use as bulk eggs in cakes and stuff.

How do they know they are double yolk eggs?
I've had them in white store bought more often than farm eggs.

You can "candle" the egg and see the yolks... basically, putting a bright light on one side. I used to have some white leghorns that would lay jumbo-sized eggs, and a fair number of them were double-yolkers.

25 years?? I get one every few months. Of course, I eat eggs almost every day.

How is it possible that I've probably cooked a thousand eggs in my life and never had this happen to me? I mean, my wife never cooks but it happened to her last weekend because she was hard boiling eggs so that I could make deviled eggs for her work pot luck. WTF?

Because they check for it at the chicken laying joint. Most double yolks are big eggs. That right there would eliminate you from getting one if you buy medium or large eggs rather than jumbo eggs.

With a bright light that has some kind of sensor. The double yokes get kicked to the side. And sent down another line. A lot if Americans don't see double yokes as desirable.

There used to be a little stand on River Road in Destrehan that displayed a sign saying "Double Yolk Eggs". After passing that sign for a year or two, my curiosity got the better of me and I bought a dozen.
They were all double yolked and rather large brown eggs, but I didn't care for the gamey taste.
In grocery store eggs, I've had doubles a few times, and once 2 in the same dozen.
There's a video out there somewhere that shows someone breaking a large egg into a skillet, and inside is another whole egg with shell. That was also broken into the skillet. I guess it could have been faked, but have no good reason to think it was.

I'm sure you're right but that doesn't explain that wife cooks half as much as I do but has had it happen 5 or 6 times in her life. Insult to injury was last weekend where she cooked a dozen eggs I bought and would've cooked save that she needed to use them for a pot luck...

I buy 18 jumbo white eggs a week. For the past 4 years. Never seen a double yolk.

It's the clomid in the chicken feed.

I eat eggs every day and I have had several double yolks for scrambled eggs but never for boiled.
A double for a boiled egg would freak me out.

I always tell my twin friends that the reason they are twins is because the night they were conceived their dad banged their mom twice. Not super relevant here but I thought I would share.

Here's some good eats... slaughter an egg-laying hen and you'll find a chain of several yolks at various stages in her innards. Those yolks can be cooked and eaten, and they're delicious.
