Double Yolker In Bator! Will It Survive? Help!!!!

[ChickLover98]

I am incubating one egg as an eggsperiment (See my other thread) and I know it is a double yolker! I am in day 6 and only found out about the double yolk yesterday! Will both chicks survive or will one die and one develope? My worst fear is that one will come out deformed or with extra limbs. HELP!!!!!

Hope this helps... you could PM the OP for help.

In your other thread you say you won't do a first candling until Wed. So how do you KNOW it's a double yolker? Any hints for us on how to tell?

I know that it is double cause the first large egg that size laid by my hen was a double yolker and then she laid this one and thinking that they were full sized eggs, I put it in the bator. Then I was confused because she started laying small eggs again. I decided to crack the first big one and it was a double yolker, therefore meaning that the one in the bator is also. Hope that helps!

With potential twin eggs there are 2 outcomes. It could have a slow transit and the yolk could have picked up 2 sperm, thus a shared yolk. In this case the chances of a sucessful hatch are 5%, unless careful monitoring and assisting, and then it is tricky. Or it could be a double yolk, which again both yolks are fertilezed, and chances of a successful hatch are very good.




When candling it is hard to see. Freshly layed eggs would candle with a mostly yellow and little clear areas. At about 5 days into incubation, and if dark eyed birds the eye is tiny but visible and in candling, if twins 2 tiny spots would be seen.

note this is for cockatiel eggs but same prissible, she is a goodess in all thing going wrong with eggs and babys
so lick candling would be 7 days and such​

It's "country" people that always told me this... but they say not to try to hatch double yolkers because they may hatch out as siamese twins.
