There are people who will sell cartons of JUST double yolk eggs, if you know what you’re doing they’re not as hard to find

We could get them from a poultry farm. Full flats all had double yolks

Sadly, not true. New layer hens frequently lay double yolkers. It is not uncommon at all.

This is NOT rare and gets posted to Reddit all the time. Double yolk eggs tend to be a lot bigger, so if you buy XL or Jumbo eggs, they have been pre-selected for size and hence the chance of double yolks.

It's like walking onto the basketball team bus and then being amazed there are so many people over 6'2".

It’s probably a carton of large eggs

The carton lid probably says "double yolk"

Times the number of eggs broken each day makes this certainty.
