My first double yoker ...........................................  and what do I do???? ???

I drop the fr$%^&ing thing - onto a Silk Chinese rug too :'( :'( :'( :-[ The dogs did a great job of cleaning the rug, and what else could I do but reward them with it shared between them. :o  I found 4 eggs in the 3 bird Light Sussex nest, including this one - someone is working overtime ;D ;D ;D

Mine is very cheap with Southern Rock - via E-ladies Insurance, and my motor-home even cheaper with QBE.  Car due for renewal end May and van end August - so will be checking online for any better deals.

We've always considered double yokes to be lucky in our family. The one to get one would always make a wish.

Don't fancy yours with all due respect  ;D

Losing that double yoker just sent me in a right spin - I even forgot to have anything to eat and had to rush to  get to agility class with Freckles!

I love double yolkers :yum:, shame you dropped it. i must drop 3 or 4 eggs a week, which is really clumsy, usually when i am trying to be clever and hold a couple of eggs and open a door at the same time.

Well I do that too but so far that's the only one I've dropped and I'm still flipping mad at myself for it.

Diversifying a bit here but does anyone know what would happen if you incubated a double yoker egg? I'm not going to - just hyperthetical!

Twins? Maybe you'll get one one day to find out for sure. We had one double yolker since we've had our birds. :&>

Actually I have had quite a few from the ducks but never thought about incubating at the time.

Lucky you, I love them! Must be because my gran used to give me yolks with sugar as a treat.
Maybe you'll have one duckling too many one day...:&>

The yoke isn't the embryo - it is the food for it so does two yolks automatically mean two chicks?  Anybody care to have a go? But how would you know it was a double yoker without opening it?  Would it show up by candling? ???

Normally my double yokers are HUGE so that gives it away but I know what you are saying, I wonder???
