totally possible, but rare.

i've tried to hatch double yokers with no success. the closest ive ever gotten was there were two fully formed chicks in the egg that never hatched and were dead in the egg. it was a silike egg so i didnt think they would have made it even that far. i have one of my barnyard mixes that lays HUGE eggs (once there was blood on a really huge one) and shes had triple yolkers before. congrats

got any pictures of the little fluffy butts?

We had twins hatch out of one egg recently. They both lived, but were VERY deformed. Each of them had misshapen legs and could barely walk. There was not enough room in the egg for both of them to fully develop.

I have had twin hatches in the past with cockatiel eggs: http://www.internationalcockatielresource.com/uploads/1/5/2/0/15203836/7800894_orig.jpg

I have an egg with possible twins in . It's a bantam egg though. Will it survive. Also my bantam hen was mounted as such by a light Sussex any idea on whether chick will be large or small. Or could that the reason why ithink possible twins. Any info greatly appreciated

So, I know I had 9 eggs under my broody hen. Today I had two chicks hatch. There is only one egg shell and there are still 8 eggs left to hatch. Is this possible? I have counted the eggs several times. I know how many were there this morning. Even if I had miscounted (which I didn't

) why didn't I find a second egg shell? I have opened eggs with two yolks before so I assume however unlikely it may be this is possible?

I was looking for the answer as well. I have eggs in an incubator, and they are hatching right now. I took a chick count I have 7 but only 6 eggs shells. I was looking for answer when I saw your post.

Did you only set 6 eggs? Did you ever candle the eggs to see how they were developing?

Chickens will eat egg shells though...
