Can a double yolk egg hatch?

[beckychick]

two chicks, or just one? I can tell when my hen lays a double yolk because it is a lot bigger, but what happens?

Sometimes they hatch. It is very rare though!

Unusual, but yes, it happens. Always twins.

Read the thread posted above by Imp. It truly is fascinating.
