Double Yoke Duck Egg (Pics)

[kuntrygirl]

I cracked open a duck egg this morning for breakfast and this is the surprise that I found. I have NEVER had a double yoke DUCK egg. I wonder what would have happened, if I would have put this duck under my broody duck. Twins? Nawwwwwwww, probably not huh?

Was that from one of your scovies?

Yes, it would have been twins, but most likely both would have died before hatching.

You know I got a butt load of duck eggs in the bators right now.

You need more breeds... lol

I'm just trying to help you out Julie.

Double yolker duck eggs almost never hatch. The chances of them hatching are almost zero. There is simply not enough space, so one dies during incubation. The dead one then decays inside of the eggs and kills the second one along the way.
