Holy Cow! That is just amazing. Thanks for sharing that story...they sure look like two peas in a pod for sure

Congrats! I think this is the first heathy twin hatch that was on here...at least what I have seen anyhow

That is fantastic. I just wish I would get a double yolker just once to eat. I have never got one yet. Congrats on your success.

This may sound like a dumb question but will those two chicks be identical twins?

 

[gaeamama]

Congrats again!

I got a triple yolker a few months ago

920otlaw Not a dumb question at all! To answer your question....NO they are just two seperate eggs that happend to become covered in the same shell. 1 of the eggs traveld down the reproductive canal too slow or the other too fast and they both became coverd in 1 shell. Good Question!!!

God Bless!

We just candled ours at 9 days. It's our first hatch and we are still figuring out what we are seeing. It doesn't help that we have all colors of eggs either! The worst are the real blue EE eggs to see through.
The one with the very best view?
a LARGE green egg that I thought belonged to Goldie, our best layer.
After candling, we see TWO moving embryos-- picture book perfect.
uh oh. Guess it was a double yolk.
Wish us luck
