Can I incubate double yoke eggs?

[Haveandtohold]

Hey everyone just wondering what to do...

I have a Coturnix hen that seems to only laying double yoke eggs. I'm just about to start my second quail hatch as I'm just getting started with them and would really like to hatch her eggs to help with the genetic diversity of my flock. Can twins hatch? Is this even a trait I want to pass on? Any advice is welcome.

It is very rare that they do hatch, if they both develop. What happens is, one of the chicks grows too big and either kills the other or they both die. There is just not enough room in the egg for two babies.
