double yolks in eggs my grandmother


Double yokes are just a split Zygote, it's a twin basically.

I think the OP had split yokes but one didn't form.

It was banned in poultry in the 1960s. Where the hell have you been?

Everything else is, and that doesn't mean they aren't still, or that the poultry industry practices aren't fricked up, because they are.

Feeding chickens arsenic in their feed also promotes growth, and you're ingesting that every time you eat a bird.

I saw a youtube video of someone crackin open what they thought was a typical double-yolk egg. When they cracked it open, it was a yolk and white, with another completely formed egg with a shell.

You can't sell double yolks. Egg farms have xrays they put them through to take them out of what they sell to the general public. There not uncommon though. I get them from my grandpa's neighbor who owns an egg farm for 10 cents an egg though.

That's not true. I buy jumbo eggs almost exclusively from Albertson's to Whole Foods and I get double yolks all the time. Probably one out of every three or four dozen. And always have.

I'm pretty sure it's a calcium deposit. Some cal deposits form on the outside of the shell (raised bumps), but some are deposited inside the shell. Can be kinda granular.

Doesn't LSU still have a poultry science dept? Kinda surprised that some chicken farming majors didn't quickly weigh in on this one.

There used to be a roadside stand in Destrehan on River Road that sold them. I passed the sign many times and finally stopped and bought a dozen. They were all large brown eggs, all double-yolked, but I didn't care for the flavor. They were strong with kind of a gamey flavor.

I get double yolks quite often as well, probably about as often as the above and sometimes, more often. I got more than one in 3 different cartons of a dozen eggs in a row not too long ago. I consider it good luck!

I was saying you can't sell double yolked exclusively like a dozen double yolked eggs. Inevitably some are gonna make it in with the single yolked cartons you buy from your local market. The Guy I get them from says there not as uncommon as one would think and he just sales them to friends and family. Ill buy them 36 at a time and to me there just as good but way cheaper for me at ten cents an egg and I drive by there all the time.
