Double Yolker

[Jharper]

I have two double yolkers growing in my incubator right now. Do you think they all will live?

From what I have read on byc the odds aren't good.

I've hatched two double yolkers under a hen, on the one egg both chicks hatched by themselves and grew up to be big proud roosters, the other egg also hatched but only one chick survived. My double yolkers were from standard dark cornish.

The odds are against them but I'm interested to hear the results. Good luck!

I also have 2 doubles in the bator, Day 7 is tomorrow and we will check fertility at candle. They are a SLW Roo over Jersey Giant hen
Everything I have read says odds are against them, but they can also survive with assistance... so I have read up on all that ahead of time!

Good Luck!!

It seems that one is fertile. It's hard to tell the other

Did the double yolker hatch?
