2 brief questions about incubating eggs

[cupman]

1) What happens if you try and incubate a double yolker?

2) What happens if you try and incubate different types of birds at the same time? I was thinking of trying guineas and chickens.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

A double yolker can develop as twins but they usually perish so its not often done as it seems such a shame to start them.

Mixed eggs can be done and you'll see examples of it in the link below. We did poultry and Guineafowl this year with good results

Here's two links that may be of help you and also if you visit our website there lots of incubation links there and information.

I have incubated Chicken eggs and Pheasant eggs at the same time. Pheasant eggs do require a longer incubation period.
