Weird-Ass Egg. :|

Like omg!

This is what I found when I started to make me an omlette this morning. The egg was pretty big in size compared to the others...and I found out why after I cracked this babie(s) open. I guess it's pretty rare. I ate it nonetheless. =) Twas good. Yeah.



I did some research and a farming site states that

"Double-yolkers occur when ovulation happens too rapidly, or when a yolk gets lost and is joined by the next one in line. They’re most often laid by pullets just beginning to synchronize their laying pattern, and some heavy-breed hens carry this tendency as an inherited trait. Rarely, an egg contains more than two yolks ­ the world record is nine yolks in one egg."

Some cultures claim its extremely bad luck, claiming that it could lead to a death or injury in the family whereas some claim that it's extremely good luck, for someone might be pregnant. I hope to remain unaffected by both. I just dig the fact that it happens to one in every 10,000 eggs laid.

Hmm...rare after all. :)
