Have you ever cracked an egg with two yolks? Better yet, have you ever had an egg with two yolks for breakfast??? I did - this morning. Apparently its a rarity, here's some useful information for the day:
What is a double-yolked egg?
The world record is nine yolks in one egg!!! I wasn't trying to make history, just eat breakfast...It is an egg which has two yolks in it. Both yolks were ovulated (released) at or about the same time and enclosed in the same shell. Many eggs with double yolks occur when young adult female chickens first start producing eggs. Their egg-forming organs are not adjusted or not yet synchronized, so two yolks are released together. Shortly after egg production starts, the chickens' bodies adjust, and for the most part, they then lay eggs with only one yolk. But, there are some chickens which inherit the characteristic to lay double-yolked eggs and usually continue to do so throughout their life.
