double yoker...

[barnyardmommy]

I just candled the eggs in my incubator. 2 are double yokers. I egg has yokes that are side by side, with veining at the big end of the egg, the other one has 2 yokes with 1 yoke at the big end, and 1 yoke at the little end of the egg, with veining at the big end of the egg. They are only on day 4. Should I be excited or scared, I didn't know these were double yokers when I put them in the incubator.

theres a thread somewhere about hatching double yolk, they say theres 50/50 chance. I dont remember the whole story, hope someone else will help !

I found a thread on here once where someone also had two double yokers in their incubator. One egg both chicks successfully hatched out of and the other only one hatched out of. I believe they had to help the chick trying to hatch out of the small end of the egg, though. Maybe I can find it. It was really neat; they even took a video of it hatching.

Edit: Found it! I think this is the thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/104245/double-yolker-yolk-hatched-video-p-16-13-week-pics-p-51
