A cake decorator from Rochdale was left shell-shocked when she cracked open 29 double yolk eggs in a row. Charlotte Matthews beat massive odds when she made the amazing discovery in a tray of 30 eggs. The 26-year-old bought the box in Asda to make cakes and a Sunday morning fry-up.
And after cracking open 13 double yolks in a row she asked husband Gavin to film her while she opened the rest. She missed out on the full house when the last egg in the tray was a single yolk.

Charlotte said: "I was absolutely astounded. We made breakfast then wanted to see if the rest were the same so on Tuesday we decided to crack them all open. I am a cake decorator, so I go through a lot of eggs, but this is so strange. I have probably used thousands of eggs and have never ever seen one double yolk before."
According to the the British Egg Information Service the chance of getting a double yolk is one in 1,000. So the odds of opening 29 on the trot are one in 1,000 to the power of 29 - or one followed by 87 zeros.

I once bought a 12 egg carton with each one a double yolk. It was a bit weird...
I put it down to the hormones they feed them.
Really? A one in 1000 chance? My guess is that the British Egg Information Service produced this figure in much the same way that chickens produce eggs.
That radioactive gas from Japan is having some effect
They do sell eggs with double yolks you know? A carton would have a 90% chance of having double yolked eggs inside!
