Description
SO of the chickens I raised up this year my Buff Orpington started laying eggs about 2 weeks ago, she is young so not laying regularly yet and has only produced 6 so far, 7 if you count this double yolker!I normally would not be posting a picture of fried eggs lol, but double yolkers are pretty uncommon and it is a rare opportunity to eat this oddity, plus I know some of you have been enjoying all this chicken stuff I have been posting and would find this interesting.
It has been years* since I have had fresh eggs, I forgot how yummy they are ;w; these are eggs made with the yummy goodness of being free range to eat grass and bugs and scraps from the kitchen.
(*I have had chickens constantly for the last 20 years but for the last half decade only had senior hens who no longer lay eggs)

I once had a dozen eggs and almost every one had two yolks. XD
I guess I'm lucky!

If my wife and I had a home with a big enough yard we'd probably have quite a few chickens. My grandparents had some and I was always excited for breakfast when I stayed with them.

It's good to have some chickens of your own, what with the shortage following the recent bird flu epidemic in certain cramped crowded egg farms (not to mention the state of those farms even when they're in working order).
So since the locals I ask only tell me how easy/hard it is to GET chickens, I gotta ask: What's it like? Does it change life considerably to have them around? What's the toughest thing you've had to deal with? Do they take up much of your day? Is it possible to hold down an hourly or salary job and still take good care of them?

Give them a secure place the likes of hawks, foxes and raccoons cannot get into, give them a place they can get out of the wind and rain, give them enough room to run and scratch around (something like this www.carolinacoops.com/assets_c⦠) keep watered, give ample food in the morning, and that is really all there is to it. I have A LOT of birds, not just chickens, and they all take me like 20 min a day max to care for.
They also by no means crave human attention, unlike a dog or cat. A happy chicken is one with room to scratch around and forage for grain, that's it.
They can be a little loud sometimes, and like with any pet things will begin to smell if you don't clean their pen, but otherwise they give me no issues, and chicken food is really cheap, $15 gets me 50 pounds and they eat table scraps and spoiled food like no tomorrow, nothing goes to waste around here cept the few foods they cannot have (like avocados, chocolate and onions)

Mmmm...double yolks! BONUS!
Recently I got three sets of double yolked eggs in storebought (but organic, etc) eggs. I remember, as a kid, being told the double-yolked eggs (and eggs with blood or eggs with dark yolks) were bad. Such a racket to get people to buy big dairy eggs.

Mmm, those look good.Β If only they didn't make me inexplicably nauseous.Β (For some reason, boiled, fried, or scrambled eggs just refuse to stay down.Β And yet I'm fine with baked goods.Β I bet that these would be wonderful in pancakes...)

Double yolks are my favourite.
Once many years back I was making a cake with mom and we cracked 3 eggs, 2 of them were double yolked. That was the first time I had ever seen it. Since then I've come across it... one other time.

A guy I worked with raises double-yolk chickens! Apparently certain kinds of chickens are pretty much guarunteed double-yolk eggs for a short time when they first start laying. He sent some home with me and they were soooooooo good omg.

Having chickens are quite an experience when it comes to eggs.
You can get double yolks, shell-less eggs, or mini quarter sized ones just randomly out of the blue.

huge yolks. good sign because business farm raised eggs are used with growth hormones and all and you can really tell the difference because their yolks are really flat in comparison to organic
and, double yolks! i have never even heard of that, whoaa
