.......and a little upset.  I gave my dog an extra bowl of food tonight,(she's nursing) and cracked open an egg over her biscuits (thinking she could do with the extra protein). 4 yolks!!!   :o   Ok,so my last chickens regulary gave up double yolkers every 2 or 3 days,but a four-yolker?  Anyway,just bragging,back to making omelettes ........Ree

Goodness that was going to be a well fed little chick or four.  What you would have needed to know was, did the egg have four little embryos as well as the yolks to feed on............................. ;D ;D ;D
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age
