I am still trying to find out what the record number of yolks is in one egg. Also when a chicken gives double and triple yolks when they start laying does this continue, or is this normal to begin with?

Its normal for POL's to lay double yokers Smile even when there older you can get a double yker every now and again.

Beginner eggs can be small, large - double yolkers, soft - not got a proper shell, partly soft, great variety - they do settle down, but you may still get a surprise one from time to time even whey they're into their egg-laying stride!

When one of my Warrens had been laying for a while she produced a triple yolker! It's only happened the once but amazing all the same!
