Double yolker on day 14

One chick would not have absorbed two yolks. I think if there had been two yolks, but one didn't develope, the undeveloped yolk would have rotted.

Oh okay. There was a lot of excess gunk in the egg, and it smelled really bad. There were definitely two yolks originally, I candled it for half an hour before incubation. The egg weighed 79 grams, 15 grams bigger than usual from that hen.

Before pics, could I have some advice on my chick Angel? She is a few weeks old, and about an hour ago, if not less, she just sits with her wings droopy and eyes shut. She shivers, and its a pretty cold day here. Angel and some other older chicks live outside in a coop, but Angel is the smallest, despite two others being the same age. She is currently in the incubator warming up. What can I do to help her?

Well here you go!
