Yum, I got a double yolker off a newly laying bantam.  The egg was smaller than a normal bantam egg but it was delicious.   :tongue2:

I've had a triple before, but last time I heard the record was 9!!!   :ohmy: :ohmy:

How on earth do you get 9 yolks in one shell???  :)

We hardly ever get doubles but everyone who buys from us gets them all the time. My daughter would have loved the triple egg for breakfast, she was a huge egg fan till we got chickens and now she is not as keen.  ???
