Egg #10 -- a relatively tall, narrow egg. Double yolk! So that's 8 out of 10 so far.
I need to go to the post office on Monday, which is in the same shopping center as the store whence came the box of magical eggs. I will be purchasing another box of jumbo eggs to see if the streak continues. At last, my life has purpose (also, apparently, an opportunity to employ the word "whence").

Can't wait to see what the last one is.
I really need to get out more.

I put 24 eggs in the incubator last night. Can't wait to see what I get out of them either.

Found an interesting video on the internet. There's a woman with lots of different pets and she trains them to all get along. One video has baby chickens on and with a pit bull and a cat. The pit bull seems to like licking critters whether its a baby chick, rabbit, or guinea pig.

So I got a new box of jumbo eggs from the same store today. I still have 1 left in the other box, the contents of which will probably be revealed tomorrow.
The new box has a mix of tall, narrow eggs and shorter, fatter eggs. It also has one egg that is so huge it must contain at least 3 yolks (or possibly a small mammal). Can't wait to see what's in that one.

Egg #12 -- double yolk #10!
Can't wait to see what wonders the new box holds.
This has been so much fun that I bought stock in the company yesterday.

Does this "magic" include glowing?

Nope. No glowing. No weird thrumming noises. No humming or beeping. No unnatural warmth. Just magic in the form of yolk abundance.
However, the contents of the enormous egg in the new box have yet to be revealed.

Today's breakfast featured the enormous egg from the new box.
Sadly, no giant rubies, no small mammals, no portal to another dimension. There were, however, 2 regular-sized yolks. So, the new box is off to a good start.

So, I just finished the second box of jumbo eggs. There were only 6 with double yolks.
The next stage of research will have to wait until I have time to go all the way to the Weis for another box of jumbo eggs.

Something like being able to communicate with animals or guess lottery numbers.
Glowing in the dark sounds inconvenient. I hope that's not the outcome.

So I got another box of jumbo eggs at Weis today.
The adventure continues.
It turned out to be cranky weirdo day at the grocery store. There were some very odd, very cranky people there today.
I hope you all appreciate the sacrifices I make to provide you with top-of-the-line egg-related entertainment.

I'm so late to this one. I get 6 eggs a week from the CSA during the season now. My friends have chickens. I do buy cage free if I'm stuck with store brand even though I know it's hype. Nellies I think?

So far, out of the seven eggs used from box 3, not a single double yolk. Not. One.
This isn't much fun anymore. Now it's just breakfast.

Official double-yolk count from box number 3: Zero. Not a single double yolk.
Box number 4, however, has produced 1 double yolk in the first 2 eggs, so it is somewhat promising.
In other egg news, my neighbors brought me a dozen eggs from their family's chickens because I looked after their dog while they were away (visiting the family with the chickens. They also have goats). There are 9 brown eggs, 1 white egg, and 2 pale green eggs. They are all quite large, so I'm hoping there will be at least a couple of double yolks. I have come to count on the occasional double yolk to brighten my outlook and bring a little element of surprise to my breakfast. (Just a little. No one wants big surprises at breakfast).
If I can figure out how to take a picture of the multicolored eggs with my phone and post it here, I will do that. Actually, I will intend to do it, but I will probably forget.

According to my neighbor (who checked with the family member with the chickens that produced the green eggs), the green eggs are produced by Americana chickens. Some googling reveals that Americana chickens are handsome birds in a variety of colors. I do not know the color of the Americana chickens that produced the green eggs I received.

I doubt my dog to coexist with the chickens. However, he couldn't do it with guineas, we tried several times and those little critters were so fast they just enticed him.
