Were they Jumbo sized eggs? I usually buy large but bought jumbo once and i think 8 of the dozen were double yoked.

It didn't make good eggs for frying. They tended to be very thin in the white part of the egg and were impossible to flip and still keep together. I won't be buying them again.

I have had double yolks pretty often but I have never seen a double yolk boiled egg before.

I always have found that strange.


Maybe because most people don't boil jumbo eggs?

These probably weren’t statistically independent events, so it’s not as impossible as you think.

I didn’t know that existed. Do they hold each egg under a fluoroscope or something to determine which ones are double yolks?


Every egg that is processed to sell in shell is held up to a bright light so you can see what's inside it and a computer decides if it meets the quality standards. Double yolks are kicked out with all the other eggs that are aesthetically not acceptable to sell in a carton: eggs that have lumpy shells, have a big/small yolk, etc.

Those eggs typically get sent to a processing line to be shelled and used for liquid egg products that go to food service, restaurants, etc., and make up a HUGE amount of the total egg production.

Someone along the way who was a normal egg-loving human realized that double-yolk eggs are amazing and said "Hey, instead of making these into cheap liquid egg products, let's sell those double-yolks at a premium by the dozen for other normal egg-loving humans". And the carton of double yolk eggs was born.

Why are cage free eggs brown and the caged eggs white?

Incorrect. The breed determines the egg shell color, and it will be the same as the bird's ear lobe.

Chicken lives matter. Stop the senseless abortion of chicken eggs.
