Answers:
Eggs you buy in a store are never fertilised!.!.!.!.you'd end up with dead chicken embryos!. YUK!.!. They can't be fertilised, as they keep no roosters at egg farms!.

Eggs with 2 yolks in used to be quite common, before egg producers bred chickens that give single-yolk eggs but one a day ("normal" chickens might lay only 2 or 3 a week)!.

The yolk is the package of nutrition the developing chick will grow and develop from!. This is why eggs are nutritious for us, too!. I've never heard of a yolkless egg, but some do have very small yolks, so I guess it can happen!. Most likely the poor hen that laid it has laid so many, she has run out of the nutrition SHE needs to create yolks!.
If it has the smell and consistency of a normal eggwhite, I'd take the risk and eat it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No-yolkers are called "dwarf", "wind" [or, more commonly, "fart"] eggs!. Such an egg is most often a pullet's first effort, produced before her laying mechanism is fully geared up!. In a mature hen, a wind egg is unlikely, but can occur if a bit of reproductive tissue breaks away, stimulating the egg producing glands to treat it like a yolk and wrap it in albumen, membranes and a shell as it travels through the egg tube!. You can tell this has occurred if, instead of a yolk, the egg contains a small particle of grayish tissue!. In the old days, no yolkers were called "cock" eggs!. Since they contained no yolk and therefore can't hatch, our forebears believed they were laid by roosters!.


I probably wouldn't eat the egg, but it is not impossible to have an egg with no yolk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is up to you if you want to eat it, but here is the explanation!.

NO YOLK:

No-yolkers are called "dwarf", "wind" [or, more commonly, "fart"] eggs!. Such an egg is most often a pullet's first effort, produced before her laying mechanism is fully geared up!. In a mature hen, a wind egg is unlikely, but can occur if a bit of reproductive tissue breaks away, stimulating the egg producing glands to treat it like a yolk and wrap it in albumen, membranes and a shell as it travels through the egg tube!. You can tell this has occurred if, instead of a yolk, the egg contains a small particle of grayish tissue!. In the old days, no yolkers were called "cock" eggs!. Since they contained no yolk and therefore can't hatch, our forebears believed they were laid by roosters!. This type of egg occurs in many varieties of fowl!. We've found them in chickens, both standard and bantams, guineas and Coturnix Quail (about the size of a small marble)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is also possible for a young hen to produce an egg with no yolk at all!. Yolkless eggs are usually formed about a bit of tissue that is sloughed off the ovary or oviduct!. This tissue stimulates the secreting glands of the oviduct and a yolkless egg results!.
it's okay for to eat it!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

That is highly improbable, I have never heard of it happening, you could have found a genetic break through, but you could just cook and eat it, and never know how it happened!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would Throw It Away
The Yolk Is The Protien For The Chick Inside its gets absorbed into there stomach

So It should Still be There As Its Not for Hatching
