Is a double yolk in an egg good luck?

Only to the superstitious. Double-yolk eggs occur when ovulation occurs too rapidly, or when one yolk becomes joined with another yolk. These eggs may be the result of a young hen's productive cycle not yet being harmonized. BUT yes people do say Its Good Luck or you may get a twin if someone is pregnant. :)


How do you get a chicken to lay a twin yolk egg?

You don't. Double yolks are like twins, they occur spontaneously. You have no control over the number of yolks in an egg. This is all genetically determined. The hens who lay double yolked eggs have a flaw in the oviduct which allows more than one ovulation at a time. Double yolk eggs are not really all that rare and can be purchased at most major grocery stores in North America.

Two yolks inside one shell. Sometimes when the hen releases the oocyte from her ovipositor two are released at one time.

What is an egg with no yolk?

yes an Easter egg has no yoke!LOL no but realy there is no egg that i know of that dosent have a yoke soo it's no! Actually, according to Wikipedia, there is such thing. It is rare and is considered to be abnormal just as double yolk eggs are. Here is a direct quote from Wikipedia: "...It is also possible for a young hen to produce an egg with no yolk at all. Yolkless eggs are usually formed about a bit of tissue that is sloughed off the ovary or oviduct. This tissue stimulates the secreting glands of the oviduct and a yolkless egg results."

What are the odds of getting a triple yolk egg?

We have had chickens for nearly 8 years now, and it has happened to us only once. The egg was shaped oddly long. It reached from my wrist to the top of my palm. The yolks were not small. We have all Rhode Island Reds, 26 of them and two roosters. And yes the roosters do get along. We get a lot of double yolkers, but only 1 of these triple ones. It wasn't even "egg shaped". It looked like a short, empty toilet paper roll with rounded ends. Truly an odd sight.
