IMHO really rare, but then happened with several eggs from the same batch.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

My neighbor's had chickens and there were a couple who laid double yolks on the regular. They make the best scrambled eggs.
It is not rare naturally, so eggs like that are probably just sorted out on large farms
The way he explained it was, it's rare if the chicken doesn't usually lay them, but for some birds it's like 50/50.
