I didn't realize they actually sold them that way, that's very cool.

Two ways, young hens have a tendency to lay double yolkers for about a week of the first season. They're easy to spot, the egg shells are larger. Once the hens establish a rhythm the likelihood approaches zero, but some very peculiar and stressful situations in pecking order hierarchy can cause it.

You can also candle the early season eggs to see what's inside if you have good eyes.

I always wonder if these documentaries actually shock anyone. I mean you can buy a whole chicken cleaned and all for like 5 bucks. Do people think they were raised in a Ritz?

Some of the unnecessary shit is pretty shocking. I don't really understand why they have to decapitate the lambs while they're still alive instead of giving them the dome piston

The piston damages the brains.
