Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Its like a bonus isn't it?
I've had chicks make one massive egg with two yolks in one shell, but they often take two days over it. One of our hens (a Light Sussex) lays doubles most of the time without missing a day. Good hen!

Three eggs, three double yokers
Quick buy a lottery ticket Robbi.
Often get double yolkers from the local farm, but it's still always a nice surprise.
Sent via smoke-signal from a woodland in Scotland.
At the farm we have recently added some new birds to the chicken flock.
I do not the breed name but they lay small blue eggs and about 60% of them are double yolkers - and delicious!

That looks like her... the one on the far right. Grey with a fluffy head.
She doesn't half give you a peck or two if you go in the pen though... don't think she realises I have to be in there to sort out their water. There is a blockage on one of the nipples I think... might have to replace it.

Good tip I was given is to put your hand in the middle of her back and press her downwards if shes aggressive. Its what roosters do and its hardwired as a dominance move - it asserts your place in the (literal) pecking order
If I can get close enough to her without her attacking me, I shall do just that 
She's a bugger BR... when I take them the discount salad I buy for them, she is the one that tries to jump for my face... it makes you stand back when those talons are whizzing towards you.
They seem to love apples though... trying to find somewhere local for apples... then going to try your egg shell recipe.
A mate told me to install infra-red lights in the coop, so will be looking that up... not entirely sure its a good idea.
