I am making scrambled turkey eggs now.

Turkey eggs apparently have two yolks!?

double yolk chicken eggs aren't all that uncommon either

I guess they're pretty decent

I don't know which nuclear power plant you live on the cooling reservoir for, but I haven't seen any double-yolk chicken eggs here... I'd guess they're pretty uncommon unless you buy them like that

Where does one purchase turkey eggs?

One must retrieve them from the wild turkeys in the jungle.

I don't think you generally can, maybe at hippie marts like Whole Foods? My dad got a few from a turkey farmer, supposedly they don't produce much of a surplus of eggs.

They are ALOT more common than you think.

turkeys aren't generally raised to produce eggs for consumption, only for hatching

you can usually look at a chicken egg and tell if it's a double yolk because they're usually significantly larger, so they don't send them out in the cartons of eggs. that's why you don't see them very much.

i, however, was raised on a chicken farm where we had layers (w/ roosters, so for hatching) and we ate a lot of double yolks at my house. they don't hatch them. we also had what we called "table eggs" which were like runt eggs that were too small for the hatchery to take them. we ate them.

i never bought eggs until i went off to college.

^^ word! I loved getting eggs from the farm I worked at

yeah, roll down the dump road right around the corner from where you used to stay and one of grandaddy's chicken houses is still standing. he had the other one torn down.

only got about 30 chickens now (for eggs) as opposed to the 10k we had before he retired
