    What went wrong?

    Ok, I have a setup similar yours now! Thanks and wish me luck! I have other thermomete s in there now. I don't trust the integrated one at all. :-)

    What went wrong?

    Yes, small end of the egg was up / fat end was down (Like you get them in the grocery store carton). I only had one thermometer. The temp was 37 degrees Celsius.

    Can a double yoked egg kill a young chicken?

    Can a double yoked egg kill a young chicken?

    I am new to chickens and this is my first flock. I purchased 76 Rhode Island red chicks on June 2 of 2014. There were approximately 34 hens. They started to lay a few weeks ago and I have had very good luck. Today, I went into the chicken coop to collect eggs and found multiple normal size...
