Answers:
it means you got two yolks!. technically the chicken ovulated twice in the same egg!. if the egg had been fertilized it would have been twins, but commercial hens never see roosters!.
double yolkers are yummy!.
the eggs are often rejected cos they are not standard, but some sellers buy them from the egg farms and sell them off cheaper than regular eggs!. I love them cos they are rich and wonderful to cook with!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Chicken Twins! Double yolks occur in about one in 1,000 eggs, usually when hens are young!.

A double yolked egg is not so good for making meringue (less whites) and it will mess up your recipies as the proportions are all wrong!.

People in Yorkshire think it's lucky to find a double yolker!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Get ready!.!.!.you'll run across many more double yolked eggs over the years!. They aren't real common, but they aren't all that rare, either!.

Double yolked eggs appear when ovulation occurs too rapidly, or when one yolk somehow gets "lost" and is joined by the next yolk!. Double yolkers may be by a pullet whose productive cycle is not yet well synchronized!. They're occasionally laid by a heavy-breed hen, often as an inherited trait!.

It's even possible for a hen to lay an egg with no yolk at all!. Or, and egg within an egg!. Those are extremely rare!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It means you need to go to a nasty twisted voodoo doctor! also, you can find a few more if you by 'jumbo' size eggs!. Better not, though, cause it's terrifying!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hmmm i would say it was either twins or the chicken was further developed than most eggs when they are selected to be eatenWww@FoodAQ@Com
