Siamese Egg
Along with my daily intake of protein drinks, creatine, and vitamins, I often have a few eggs at night prior to bed just to squeeze in a few more ounces of protein before hitting the gym the next day. Last night I cracked into my second egg and found that it had two yolks:
I had never encountered this before, but apparently this isn’t an entirely unusual occurrence. From a bit of research I’ve discovered that over 75 billion eggs are produced in the United States, and roughly 3-5% of those eggs are double-yolks. Larger hens, or hens that are overfed at the beginning of their laying cycle, are more likely to produce them. The record for the number of yolks in one egg is nine.
Something to think about next time you sit down for breakfast…
hey Herman, we only buy eggs with double yolks and the farmer we are buying these from is delivering these himself twice a month. I’ll make a shot for you to see that 2 fried eggs look like 4
i’m more amazed about your ability to go search for facts about double yolks than your discovery of it LOL …..
Some people sys it’s a good luck thing….i’m guessing ya just saved money LOL
