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?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's a genetic trait, so if they kept breeding a twin-maker hen for efficiency alone (if you raise chicks, you get 2 for 1 effectively), that could mean that most of their stock are now laying dual yolks.
Are there nutritional differences in said dual yolk eggs or is one truly getting double yolk nutrition?
The two yolks together are like 30-50% larger than one regular one, so the nutrition facts are slightly changed since the amount of egg white is reduced.
Since most calories actually come from the yolk, I'd say it should be noticeable to some degree, if you really measure it.
