i cracked an egg...

...and surprise it was double yolked.  that is very exciting, because nothing beats the creamy-ness of our girls yolks and this one had 2! 



while we are on the topic i thought that i'd share that  the chances of this happening is 1 in 1000. based off the  rough calculations of 20 eggs a day and 365 days a year, that is 7300 eggs (that is a lot of eggs, never broke it down  like that before.) so this should roughly happen 7 times a year.  so, you fleur farm cayuga duck egg eaters, please let us know when you crack your egg and find a double yolk.  it'd be interesting to see if that number is right.   this is the second time that this has happened to us and we have been getting eggs from our original girl for over a year now, but with more egg layers the chances have greatly increased.  i'm excited!

til next time,
farmer mom
