It’s no secret that Double Yolk Eggs exist, but did You know that they may bring good luck! I doubt the later, unless it’s for the Hen that laid it, and then it’s a long shot!
According to bonappetit.com, Gail Damerow, author of, Storey’s Guide to Raising Chickens, says, “It takes 25 hours to make one egg”. Which is the same amount of time it takes to create a Double Yolker!
So, while it doesn’t take twice as long, it does take a special process within the Hen! SauderEggs.com states, “A double yolk occurs when a hen’s body releases more than one egg during her daily ovulation cycle. And, just like humans, it’s possible for two — or more — eggs to make their way from the ovary and through the reproductive tract.” Obviously, those two Yolks are contained in One Shell. The odds of that happening are about 1 in 1000. So, You have to be pretty lucky to find one!
Two here in one pan, is Double Lucky, Double Yolkers, at Briden Farm!!

Even before starting Briden Farm, we thought about someday having a place where we can play Farmer’s Golf! We first played Farmer’s Golf at Hennigar’s in Greenwich, Nova Scotia. Their course meanders through their orchards and we were even told to have an apple if we saw one we liked! If You’ve never had the opportunity to play Farmer’s Golf, check out this lovely description on Hennigar’s Farmer’s Golf Page, or visit the website for the Farmer’s Golf courses in the Netherlands, where there are a number of Courses, where the game was developed!
So, now that You understand what I mean by Farmer’s Golf, and I am seriously considering having a Farmer’s Golf course here at Briden Farm! You’ll appreciate just how kismet things can be sometimes and also how truly willing to please our Chickens really are!
See, the other day, as we were working to make a fence for the our Nigerian Dwarf Goat Bucks, near the Hen House, I literally stumbled on an old Golf Club! Then, within an hour, we saw the strangest thing in the Hen House! One of our Hens laid a Golf Ball! Or, at least an egg, shaped like a Real Golf Ball! Some Hen!
Perhaps this should be titled, Candles Burning Bright, but last night the people of Bear River, Nova Scotia may have thought they saw A UFO Over Bear River! Especially if they were in the area of Head of the Tide, near Parker Road, or coming down the Hill, from,L’sitkuk, the Bear River First Nation. For there we’re definitely strange lights in the night sky!
These “Lights” certainly may have looked like an unidentified flying object! A UFO Over Bear River!
Truth be known, it was actually Candles Burning Bright in the Windows at Briden Farm! However, since most people don’t know where Rice Mullen Road is, nor remember there’s a house “up there”, it would certainly appear as A UFO Over Bear River!
Brian Hurlburt, locally known by many as The Bear River Hobbit, and Denis moved back to Bear River earlier this year when they bought the old Jack Harris place on Rice Mullen Road. They’ve started a small Hobby Farm there, with Nigerian Dwarf Goats and numerous Chickens.
Brian is he one who, twelve years ago, had the Hobbits Hollow gift shop in Chester Colbeck’s old Barber Shop across from the Rebecca Hall, and Sissiboo Coffee Roaster, and become known as the…

Brian & Denis invite visitors to Briden Farm to see their animals and to escape the worries of the world, as they embrace the peacefulness and fun to be found by those who visit Briden Farm in Bear River.
