Golf Ball Egg

This is our second, Golf Ball like, round egg in the past 6 Weeks! We have a number of young hens, beginning to lay for their first time, and were thinking it’s them!  So we’ve recently started them all on special food for Laying Hens. 

Really though, we think it’s because our Hens are in favour of us starting a Farmers Golf Course here at Briden Farm. If You’d be interested in playing Farmers Golf at Briden Farm we’d love to here from You! 902-907-0770

Double Lucky Double Yolkers

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!!
