Knowledge, or in the case of hens that successfully hatch out double yolkers, maybe instinct. Hardly guaranteed death.
I have to say that many things are possible.I get the whole concept of how long the process takes. But if chickens only ovulate once per 24 hours, how come we get double yolk eggs? Or is that another myth that never happens according to the experts? Is it not concievable that if a chicken can drop two yolks in one shell, that they couldn't drop two yolks in two shells. My chickens have large bones. Their bones are typically marrow filled and not hollow. Their eggs tend to be very hard shelled, similar to guineas, if you drop them off the counter, they may not break when they hit linoleum. I have never seen a double yolk, but I have seen two eggs in a pen with one hen, MANY times.
Mammals and other live bearers have abdomens that swell to accommodate whatever is in there. They also provide the nutrition demanded by the embryo/s up to a point.So why is a double yolk a "death sentence"?
