Double yolkers
« on: 23 April 2013, 14:40:44 »
Got some double yolker eggs from tesco earlier, was just saying to swmbo that you never see them... And there they were!!
Anywhoo, how long will these need to cook for a nice runny yolk to dip my soldiers in??  :P
Normal eggs take 5 mins in a rolling boil, so what do you reckon for these?

Should be the same, although double yolkers are best fried in a Bacon Sarni imo.

As a poultry keeper I have found that double yolkers occur at the begining of a chickens laying cycle, usually you get very tiny eggs followed by a doudle yolker until the girl gets into her stride. When the commercial growers restock with a few thousand birds at the same time then you will find a proliferation of double yolked eggs many in the same box. :y

Chickens that free range and live in normal daylight take 24 -26 hours to produce an egg ;)

Shine a light through them, you can see one or two yolks. In fact three are not uncommon :y
