I have read about twin chicks hatching out of a double yolk egg, but they are rare.Unless you didn't know it was a double or triple yolk egg and then they "happen" to hatch.

There's a place in China (?) Thats known for their double yolks. They've been selectively breeding their birds to lay doubles for a hiant majority of their egg laying daysI have read about twin chicks hatching out of a double yolk egg, but they are rare.
Wow, I didn’t know that! That’s cool! I wonder how hatching would go for these chicks? Does one do all the pipping/zipping? Is there a higher mortality rate with the chicks - because one is (probably) further away from the air sac?There's a place in China (?) Thats known for their double yolks.

I have no clue. The article i read didnt explain anymore than that any single yolked eggs eere sorted out through candling and sold as a lower gradeWow, I didn’t know that! That’s cool!

My chickens seemed to sneeze less after I changed from cedar to pine.Rumor/myth: cedar shavings are toxic to chickens, only use pine shavings.
I don’t know if this is true or not, but I kept hearing it repeated on dozens of the ‘how to take care of chickens’ I read when I was first getting into chickens. I’ve never seen anything that seems to substantiate it though. Cedar shavings are definitely more expensive, so I wouldn’t be inclined to buy them just so my chickens can poop on them. Still, pine shavings are aromatic as well, so it makes me wonder . . . does anyone have information on this?

That is so interesting, & I wasn't clear if double-yolk eggs are actually being hatched, or if birds laying double-yolk eggs are simply being selected for.I have no clue.
