I had a carton last week where 10 of the 12 were double yolked, first thing I thought was "hormones" in the chicken feed? My free run eggs are never doubles!
When I was growing up, our chickens used to produce doubles all the time. And they were grass-fed, hormone free, anti-biotic free (we were too poor for unhealthy add-ins!), so not necessarily a bad thing.
I think that is so sad. I know I seem like a freak, but every time I crack open an egg, I feel like I killed an animal (I'm an animal lover), and in this case, there were two. Actually, all we buy now is free run eggs. I never understood the importance of that until I started donating to WSPA (World Society for Protection of Animals)and when I realized the living conditions of other chickens, I made my husband promise that he would never bring anything other than free run into our house again(he does the groceries...luv him). Unfortunately, they are more expensive. Go figure!
That's how all our eggs are, double yoked. :) {we get them from the chicken house}
