My girls have been laying now for a couple of weeks and today we were doing a big breakfast for some friends who had stayed over. I had about 4 double-yolkers and then one TRIPLE-yolker. It was a highlight this morning for sure! It came from a normal sized egg as well. My girls are awesome!

Enjoy!

... but I have a question... if we let these hatch would it actually develope 2 /3 chicks?!?

No.
There's just not enough room in an egg for three chicks to develop and hatch. Sometimes you read about people trying to hatch double yolkers, but it seldom ends well. It's (IMO) one of those "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" kind of things. Congrats on the triple though, that's very cool! I've never had one here, but I bet my kids eyes would pop out of their heads over that. It's pretty neat you had company when it happened too.​
