Six eggs from the same box, all double yolkers!

How rare is this?

Much excitement in the Chen household, I can tell you!

I think you should buy a lottery ticket

I think I might

Funny how the little things can brighten up a wet summer's day

wow! I've never ever had a double yolked egg :(

Neither had I until this box!

I buy a box of ten eggs and a month ago I had 8 from the one box with double yolks. When I told my mum she said she had 4 in one box of the same brand.

I had a box of six double yolkers from aldi about 12 months ago, i was stupidly excited. Then about 6 months ago someone was in one of the newspapers brandishing six broken egg shells, a jug full of 12 yolks and a

Oh - so not really that rare

That's my little yolk-filled bubble burst!

I bought a lottery ticket i am typing this whilst laid on my sun lounger by the pool of my italian farmhouse no I am not :(

Oooh ooh, they were from Aldi too Goofy

What sort of hens are they using, I wonder? Super efficient German ones, no doubt

It's more common than you think- they are likely to have come from the same flock and been boxed by size so the bigger ones have a higher chance of being doubles, especially if they are young hens :)

I've had double yolkers from aldi as well :-)

Jackpot!

Ahh, so that's what it is House. Another reason to love Aldi

I had 6 out of 6 double yokers a little while ago, I was ridiculously excited.

I think it is rare to get a double yorker, but then if you have a hen/batch of hens that produce a double yorker, it's likely that they might all be producing double yokers, so unusual to get one in the first place but having got one not that more unusual to get more than one.

The same rule applies with four leaf clovers too apparently.

Yes Maggie :) it's a genetic glitch that makes a plant produce four (or five or six) leaved clovers. If there's one, there will be more- there are tons where I walk my dog!

In our local waitrose they sell double yolked eggs in boxes of six. Think they are about £2.99

Very exciting!

... unless you were planning on making a big meringue, in which case you won't have enough white.

Horry

No - just a bog standard cake and cupcakes thankfully!
