for any carton or tray.

Does she have double yolk eggs? I get one of those every once in a while.

Looks like a double yolker for sure. Shame they don't make double births!

I have one that lays them like that as well. Sometimes, they're double yolkers, but not always. I want to hatch out some of her eggs. I want more hens like that!

a few weeks ago, was the first time since 2008 I had to buy eggs. And I too, thought what puny eggs! I bought the extra large, brown eggs, but they were way smaller than what I get from my own chickens.mythreesons said:
I love being able to go out and gather fresh eggs, and herbs. And make my own cheese.
I am very blessed to be able to do all this and still live in the center of a pretty big city!
