I bought a dozen eggs at Whole Foods a week or so ago. When I went to crack a couple to make muffins yesterday, I found them unnaturally heavy, and I was worried there might be a chicken inside.
The eggs both had two yolks. I have been alive almost 63 years, and have never seen a double yoked egg. Here were two. By this morning, having now cracked half a dozen I am reporting that all six were double. Of the six remaining, four look and feel as though they may be twins as well.
These came from a farm in Summertown, Tennessee, a place once famed as a hippie colony. What it is now I do not know- Perhaps a colony of benevolent aliens have landed there and decided to improve the chickens. Maybe there is something in the water, though I am not sure I want to know what- Or maybe the asteroid swarm of a few weeks back had something to do with it. Sunspots perhaps. Global Warming. Surveillance drones or black helicopters.
Who can explain? All I can say is that for once I found a bargain at Whole Foods.
What are the odds of that?

We have raised chickens and they would occasionally lay eggs with double yolks, I'm guessing yours were sorted by size and/or weight and the doubles tended to get grouped together. The shells were usually longer on the doubles and they sometimes appeared slightly "wasp-waisted"
