    Double yolk egg for incubation?

    I have a really confused hen. She's an Australorp that's gone broody, but she keeps hoping off the original clutch and she tries to incubate every egg in the coop. I've got about twelve nesting/laying boxes in the coop and out of the 16 or so hens they lay at least 14-16 eggs a day. So I'll...
