Weird Science

I have had such a cool experience!! While my husband and I were cooking dinner, Ed cracked open a double-yolked egg!!! Now, this by itself would be cool enough but a week and a half ago, I also cracked opened a double-yolked egg! I didn't blog about it at the time, since without the digital camera I just thought, "what was the point"? However, NOW I do have the camera and providentially I also have a double-yolked egg. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!

So, with out futher ado, please allow me to present..............


My chicken twins!! Awwww, aren't they cute??? 


Here you can see a little better that the yolks are joined at the edge. 


For comparison, here is the second egg we cracked, with the normal size of the yolk evident. 

Now, I don't know about you, but I thought this was a pretty unusual happening, so I googled "double-yolked eggs" to see just how rare. Apparently, they're not, statistically speaking, although you might never see one, your neighbor might see several in their lifetime. I did learn a few interesting facts about double-yolked eggs, namely that I now know more about them (and all eggs) than I ever thought I would. I am shy to admit that I actually did enjoy learning some trivia about them!!!
