For breakfast one morning, we were intrigued. First egg, a double yoke. Hey kids--look at this! Next egg--single yolk. Third egg--another double yoker! Wait a minute. Fourth egg--another double. You're not going to believe this! Fifth and sixth--both single. But that is half with double yokes. Never seen that before. In one container of 10 eggs--yes, 10 not 12--what are the chances of that?? Was it one chicken--not likely. What about the last 4 eggs? Would the percentage hold? Yes, it did. Two were double yokes. How did they end up in the same box? What are the chances?
We think about our chances alot here. What are the chances of us living back in Meridian? By our families that we love and miss? In our house that we hardly got to grow old with? Last week the chance seemed very slight. But, the morning with the double yoke eggs reminds me that anything is possible! This week the word "chance" was taken out of the question.

Eggs can be "candled". By holding the egg in front of a light you can tell if it has 2 yokes. Ordinarily eggs with double yokes are considered inferior. It sound like somebody may have intentionally separated the eggs into your carton.
haha, we had a double yoked egg yesterday too! :)
wow, that's pretty cool! I'm not sure I've ever personally seen a double yolker!
oh, and I meant to add...
Freaky Belgian Chickens. :o)
