Double yolker, polish cross

[Dona Worry]

Still cool though. And if your bird is newly laying eggs, double and even triple yolk for awhile are very common.

I believe later on, once laying and hormones are evened out, they're pretty rare. I saw one stat of 1 in a thousand but I'm not sure I believe that.

Lol we are the opposite of newly laying. She's 6 years old and rarely laying.

Oh, henopause then. Hormonal wonkiness at that end too. Interesting though. Good luck!

I would toss the egg. Double yolkers almost never hatch. And when they do they usually have issues. Or they both drown when hatching. Personally I think it is cruel to try and hatch a double yolk egg.

I *think* they are both still alive.

I couldn't attach the video, the egg is very dark and hard to see but it looked like 2 distinct heart beats, at the angle you can see them clearest one is at the front and the other behind and to the left.
