Morrisons has launched double yolker eggs just in time for Easter, giving you extra to dip your soldiers into.

Double yolk eggs are incredibly rare – with a one in 1,000 chance of finding one.

This is due to only a certain number of chickens being able to produce them.

Double yolks happen more frequently in young chickens, when theyre in the early days of egg production. So a chicken will usually be around 20-28 years old to hatch them.

These chickens produce a double yolker once every 100 lays.

Pictures to show how this Easter, Morrisons are releasing rare double yolk eggs in boxes of four. It???s no surprise that finding a double yolk is seen as lucky, given there???s less than one-in-a-thousand chance of finding two yolks in a single egg. The eggs are hand selected by Morrisosn eggsperts who carefully hold larger eggs up to a special high powered lamp to spot the outline of an extra yolk. Morrisons Double Yolker eggs will be available in boxes of four for ??1.50 from today. They can be bought in 11 selected stores; Aldershot, Bradford Enterprise 5, Camden Town, Chingford, Erith, Failsworth, Harrow, Maidstone, Plymstock, Preston Riversway, Redditch. For more information, please contact the Morrisons press office at The Academy on 020 7100 7100 or morrisons@theacademypr.com

The participating stores include Aldershot, Bradford Enterprise 5, Camden Town, Chingford, Erith, Failsworth, Harrow, Maidstone, Plymstock, Preston Riversway, and Redditch.
