Is it fine to eat eggs with two yolks?I cracked two eggs and both were having two yolks in each.I'm not much concerned about it but my mom said its a sign that I'll have twin babies. -_-

    There's nothing wrong with eggs that have two yolks...eat your eggs.

    Two yolks are fine, just adds extra protein from the additional yolks. If you buy farm fresh eggs, you will find this is a common surprise. A little more rare but does happen is triple yolk eggs... they have very little egg whites at all!

    Enjoy!

    PS no you will not have twin babies because of your eggs ;-)

    TWO double yolkers at once? Sounds suspicious... I would definitely prepare for twins!

    Superstition. Cute.

    It's common in farm eggs. Just extra protein.

    We get double yolkers sometimes and oh the flavour. My parents also have son bantam hens now and we give my egg loving daughter the little ones. They seem to me almost all yolk.

    1/1000 eggs are a double yolk. Having 2 at once? 1/1,000,000

    My teen daughter got two in a row recently and it freaked her out. I did some research and it's not that uncommon to have more than one 'twin' in a carton because it happens most when the hens are young and on their first ovulation, and the new hens are kept together. In that 18-pack we had three 'twins', I think.

    Here is a story of someone getting six in a row.

    You don't get extra protein from a 'twin yolk' but less protein and more fat. The white of the egg is the protein rich part. The yolk is the fatty part. :smile:

    Well, I must be the luckiest person ever because my last carton of eggs (I buy organic ones at the local market just because they taste better), every one of those eggs was double yoked.

    You need to buy non-GMO, vaccine-free, toxin-free, and gluten-free eggs laid from free-range chickens from the Huckster's Happy Chicken Farm.

    I'm jealous! I don't think I've ever cracked an egg with a double yolk, let alone triple yolk eggs! I'd love for a double or triple yolk egg in my breakfast. :love:

    Some chicken was supposed to have twins. Whether they would have been Monozygotic or Dizygotic the world will never know!

    That is known as a double yolker. Not sure, but if they were incubated would they come out as twins. :smile:

    Not entirely accurate--the yolk contains roughly 3g of protein and 5g fat, as well as fat-soluble vitamins, essential fatty acids and other important nutrients. If you like 'em, eat 'em!
