Odds: One Billion To One No joke, not a double yolk, but a double egg is what Mrs. Amy Vuolo of 2700 Aurora holds in her hands. She said she bought the egg at the Farmer's Market and eventually she will crack it open. The egg is being kept in her refrigerator. Dr. Charles Sheppard, a poultry extension specialist at Michigan State University, said chances of a double egg are about one in a billion. He explained the egg didn't drop down from the hen's egg tract but reversed its movement, going back up the tract and causing another egg to form. (Ann Arbor News Photo by Cecil Lockard)
