    But a Marks & Spencer egg...

    Laid on a bed of mohair
    From a chicken who drinks french mineral water
    And eats organic hand picked corn
    And lives in a climate controlled hutch.....

    I'd expect mine to not only be free range and organic, but also to have been laid by either Jamie Oliveoil or Huge Furry-Whatsitcalled themselves. :grin:

    I get mine at a local farm shop, and they are so free range that I once had to stop the car and rescue one of the hens from the grass verge on the other side of the lane outside the entrance!
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    I keep chickens and every day I get one double always seems to be a slightly larger egg than the rest.

    I got my first double yolker a couple of weeks ago! Extra large eggs from one of my local farm shops 6 for £1.35.
    I think you're more likely to get a dy from big eggs
    :wave:
  • There is a way of increasing your chances of, and spotting a double yolker. Think its to do with the size of the egg and the age of the bird. There is a stall that sells eggs labelled double yolkers on birmingham market, also my nana used to live in cornwall and says the eggs they bought from a local farm were always doubles!
  • I bought a box of Co-op extra large eggs and 4 out of 6 were double yolkers - the first one really did spook me!
