Apparently you can buy packs of just double yolk eggs

MudSkipperKisser OP ,

But…but how would you know before you crack?

They shine a bright light through the egg to see if it’s a double

Yep. This is called candling the egg, because it was first done by candlelight.

CADmonkey ,

I have some chickens that just started laying a few weeks ago, so far I’ve found two with double yolks. Cool stuff!

MudSkipperKisser OP ,

Oh fun! I’m surprised it’s not more rare than that

Kelsenellenelvial ,

My understanding is this kind of thing is more common in birds that recently started laying. Combine that with the fact that birds tend to be kept with other birds of similar age and it’s not uncommon for a package of eggs to have either no double yolks, or multiple instances of double yolks. I’ve never seen a dozen eggs with just one double-yolk.

CADmonkey ,

That makes sense, my two laying hens are the same age, while my other hen and my roo are younger. And I’ve only been getting eggs from them for a month or two.

It’s not widely known but the whites are actually the part that becomes the bird, the yolk is the source of food that sustains it and helps it grow.

Well this has taken me off guard

Hey, a double yolk! That’s good luck right there.

And good protein!

The protein is in the whites not the yolks.

What’s in the yolks?

c0mbatbag3l ,
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

Primarily fats and vitamins from what I understand, a bit of it is protein but it’s not as significant as the egg whites.

Strange. A weird “fact” I heard in my childhood was that the yolk contained more protein (also called eggwhite in German) than the egg white. Meh, too tired to research it.

MudSkipperKisser OP ,

I keep hearing that, stay tuned!
