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?

You can tell before cracking the egg?
You can shine a light through the eggshell to see what’s inside. It’s called candling.
Double-yolkers are bigger and usually weirdly shaped in my experience. It's not a guarantee or anything, but they never seem to look like a normal egg
No but the thing is, they ONLY sell double yolkers. That way they don't have to check. It's double in every egg. Hmm?
I think some chickens are more likely to lay them than others (due to age, or genetics). After that the eggs are somewhat larger, and you can check by shining a light through it
