"a slight wash" they are in the shell aren't they?

Sometimes said shell is covered in chicken poop and other things, stinks up the fridge.

Aren't the younger ones more likely to lay the double-yolk eggs though?

Yes this is true.

 

I usually get flats of eggs from Country Golden Yolks in Chilliwack. I always get large ones. Large eggs when they have 'new' birds are almost all double yolkers!

They are just more likely to have twins when they are younger. Shrug. For humans, women in their 30's are more likely to have twins than younger or older women.

 

I start to wonder what that bird was eating when I see one with 5 yolks, which I have!

“You spend your whole life taking care of these chickens…. It’s a traumatic experience for a farmer,” he said.







No trauma for the chickens I guess though.

You might spend your whole life being a chicken farmer but chicken farmers (for eating eggs) turn over their entire flock every year.
