“This is insane!”: Mum and son’s bizarre find in eggs makes the rounds on social media
Eggs are a breakfast staple for many people across the globe.
Whether you like them fried, scrambled, or poached, cracking an egg could be the way to start your day, every day.
However, for one mum and son, this seemingly normal morning routine turned out to be not-so-normal and what happened to them has gone viral on social media.
Kirsten and son Kai, who were staying in Yamba on the NSW North Coast for the holidays, were preparing a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs when they discovered an egg with a double yolk.

Although the odds of finding an egg with a double yolk is one-in-a-thousand, Kai repeatedly cracked the eggs — which the mum and son bought at the Coles Yamba store — with double yolks into the frying pan.
Kirsten then immediately took a video of the bizarre incident and posted it on Coles' Facebook page, writing: "Nine eggs and 18 yolks. Where do you get your chickens, Coles?"
The mum was losing it when her son cracked the eighth egg with a double yolk.
She said in the video: "This is insane."
“Are you doing another one?” she asked her son, to which he replied with: “Oh yeah, I’ll do another one."
To their surprise, the ninth egg also had a double yolk.
Kirsten then concluded the video by showing the viewers the label of the dozen Coles Jumbo Free Range Eggs she purchased from the Yamba store of the supermarket earlier this week.
“These are the eggs you want to be getting guys,” she said.

Kirsten told Yahoo News Australia that she and her son, Kai, were excited when Kai cracked the first egg with a double yolk.
However, by the time her son cracked the ninth egg, they were "mind-blown" as each egg was a double yolker.
She said: “There are still three eggs in the carton. Might be a full dozen doublers,”
“Don’t know what’s going on with the chickens up here."
The mum also insinuated that the extraordinary find might be a lucky sign, saying: “Might have to buy a lotto ticket!”
If you're wondering if double yolkers are safe to eat, don't worry, Kelly Seagrave from Eggs Australia confirmed that these eggs are edible.
"Double yolkers are definitely safe to eat," she said.
