My girl friend is making me breakie and she just cracked an egg and it had a double yoke. She was really excited as it's the first time she's ever had a double yoke.

Cool story right?

6 eggs later:

Does anyone know what the odds of this are? I assume they must all be from the same hen.

Wont be from the same hen. I read a story in a paper about it once. Some woman ended up with boxes full of them. Its to do with the way the eggs are sorted by machines. Double yolkers are not that rare, they get sorted it out. Hence why you can purchase just double yolkers from certain market traders.

Hens only lay one egg per day, so over a weeks worth of eggs would not end up in one box.
