initially was v curious when one of the hens 🐓 laid this big ass egg 🥚 (pictured on the left) last week. albeit curious 🧐 i was not intending to make a 3 egg 🍳 scramble this morning. but here we are… when i cracked open the bigg ass egg, not one ☝🏾 but two ✌🏾 yolk’s plopped out. naturally i asked google “why does my egg have two yolks?” and this is what google had to say: What are the odds of getting a double yolk? Without any outside interference, the odds of getting a double-yolker are about one in every thousand eggs. Why do double yolks happen? Double-yolk eggs are a byproduct of rapid ovulation. That means two yolks are released in quick succession into a hen's oviduct (aka fallopian tube) and end up in the same shell. Typically, yolks are released about an hour apart, but hormonal changes or a hyperactive ovary will cause double releases. Who lays double-yolkers? Usually, young hens are responsible for double-yolkers, but heavier breeds like the Buff Orpington are also known to produce double-yolk eggs more regularly than other breeds. Additionally, hens that experience an abrupt, drastic increase in hours of light exposure are more prone to laying eggs with two yolks. 🌈 the mo you know 🌈 #zafawines #counterspell #wineisfarming #vermont #layinghens #doulbleyolk #oneinathousand #themoyouknow (at ZAFA Wines) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7Nba0LZvi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
