I could use a bigger incubator but I know nothing about those

Depending on age it may need service or a retro fit. The old ones can be converted to digital.

Ok Chiqita...

I'm supposed to be studying my textbook like a responsibile adult. But, instead I snuck a peek at the BYC site and your comedy act has me laughing out loud. My husband thinks I've lost it.

So, thank you. I needed that :>

Hey this is all stuff that is happening now! I may or may not have spent 2 he's crawling under bushes looking for my head duck who was sleeping with the silkies. I could have added a/chapter on breese being bullies but I think that incident is my fault....,,

How much would you charge to come talk to my chickens?

You can read it to them while waving treats. They promise more good behavior with live mealworms, but they lie.

im happy :3 i just candled our eggs we have in a small bator and 2 of the three are fertile and growing. and one looks to be a double. anyone have experience on working with double yolks when they hatch?

It is tough to impossible to hatch twins. They can't turn to pip.

I had one last year--it was an early quitter. There was one during the New years Day Hatch a long and it was a late quitter.

Give it a shot hatching but remember, the percentage of even one hatching is very low.

I already knew there was a low rate for hatching but i did see a video of a lady hatching a double she had to help it though. both yolks from what i see are forming fine right now and they have about half of the egg each im curious though arent doubles supposed to be like big/stretched out eggs? this one is a buff orpinton egg and is a bit on the small side

They are usually two eggs the form into one egg. They are usually larger than the egg the hen normally lays.

Is it a pullet egg? Pullets that lay double yolk eggs usually stop laying them when they get older.

I am sending happy hatching thoughts to you!

I did not take any pictures, but there would be two embryos along with to sets of veins coming form it.

Can you post a picture?

It will be fun reading about all those chicks you will hatch.
