We keep four of a cross called Black Rock and the birds have been in

we will get huge ones with double yolks.

Never see these in commercial pack so I assume they get sorted out.

However, what causes the souble yolks? Is it something over which you
can exert an influence if you wanted double yolks?

Its not desirable in the commercial world as it strains the birds and halves
the potential number of eggs you will get from the individual
Its not common in Black Rocks but you obviously have one bird with the
tendancy to pick up two ova as she starts her egg making
