    Double yolker eggs - which breed?

    cool, thank you for the answers, I can imagine why it would be a negative trait. Maybe this person encouraged this trait in his breed.. idk cause he had around 300 eggs (I bought 2 dozen ) with him which he was selling.

    Double yolker eggs - which breed?

    I bought these double yolker eggs from someone who says all the eggs have two yolks, and yes all have two yolks. Now I searched a lot but it seems its only a malfunction that a hen lays two yolker eggs... so the question is how does all his hens lay two yolked eggs?

    Hatch-Along - Eggs set in November, due December, anyone?

    Hello katsdar :) Good to hear from you. And 'yum yum' the turkeys, I plan to raise some for meat too but I have space problems right now :( My chicken are doing good too, the chicks I hatched had started laying but are not good layers, the crossing didn't go so good.

    'Egg size', 'Egg quantity' traits come from Rooster or Hen?

I have a local breed GOLDEN (local name) which lays 180-220 medium eggs per year, and another MISRI (local name) which lays 220-260 small eggs. I want to cross breed them...

    Rooster standing on Hock or Kneecap of both feet (pics)

    Hello all Bycers! I have a rooster (who hatched in my homemade incubator ), he is sick nowadays. He stands on Hocks (Kneecaps) of his feet and can't stand on his legs.
