Perhaps it’s something to do with social distancing, you know, No more than one yolk inside this egg at any one time. there’s a shop in my town with a sign up saying the very same thing. The funny thing is, I have NEVER seen more than one person inside. Normally empty in fact.
Perhaps the sign is wishful thinking Longdogs…![]()
Moral of the story is “Never put all of your eggs in the same basket, you may get lucky.”
Thanks for the fun, you guys.
I was surprised at how many boxes of smashed eggs were in Tesco last week. Someone had put them in a box on the floor by the egg section. I picked up a box from the display, I always check them & one of those eggs was smashed too, so I added it to the box on the floor, the next box I picked was OK so that went in the trolley, there must have been some very heavy handed shelf stackers in there that evening.
In the 15 years or so, since l have kept hens. I have only had one, maybe two double yolkers.
I wonder why they bring us so much joy?
I would like to retract my earlier comments.
Two double and a tripple yolker in the pan for lunch from a metric dozen box of Big 'n Free eggs.
I have had one double yolk,Right Now…but that was before lock down, ![]()
Right Now, and before Lock Down, make your mind up.![]()
Artie, I think because it’s rare, and considered good luck! Another gift of foolish superstition, like finding a four leaf clover on the lawn.
Or maybe, it’s a “double your pleasure, double your fun” type of thing.![]()
Oh, fruitcake, you have made my day!! All those yolks in one pan, you are one lucky fella!

Spitty, Right Now can be relevant before, during and after :shock:![]()

It’s happened again … ![]()
6 double-yolkers in a box … ![]()
They were size XL and I thought the first one felt heavy so when I cracked it open I wasn’t surprised and, as expected, all the others were double, too … ![]()
