Chick Twins

[RAWR]

can one egg hold two chicks and form live twins?

 

[Schultz]

Yes but it is super rare to have them both survive. There is a person on BYC that has a youtube video of her survivors, it was very delicate! I don't remember the name but you can search it!

 

[RAWR]

oh..can there be siamese twins chicks. like one chick with two heads, or two chicks joined at the waist?

 

[Schultz]

Don't know but there was a BYC person with a chick that had 3 legs!

 

[RAWR]

whoa thats crazy

 

[Schultz]

Now I see a chick on here with 4 legs. Aren't mutations fun!?!?

 

[RAWR]

yes they are, but its still kinda sad.
but its almost like watching a cute Disney Movie about the outcast become'in the awesome king or something when the chick growns up

 

[Schultz]

Ah, you're like my daughter. Genetics are cool and things like this are cool but sometimes it's not a happy ending, I wish it were. You need to look at the handicap chicken contest. That will give you a smile!

 

[RAWR]

lol ok

i'll take a look

Rebecca is the person who hatched out the twin chicks. Here is the link. It's long, but it's also GREAT fun to read.
