Double yolks generally don't have good hatching results.

You do have a gobbler?

Sorry for your loss.

If you search here, you'll find lots of threads on trying to hatch double yolk eggs. Unfortunately, it is difficult to do because of how egg development works. I've incubated a double yolk duck egg once - unintentionally - and it quit about 3/4 of the way through. Based on what I know, I wouldn't try it again on purpose.

You may have an additional challenge because you mentioned it was her first egg laid: first eggs are less ideal for incubating than eggs from mature layers because new layers may still be working out reproductive "kinks" early on.

She clearly meant a lot to you, so I want to be clear that I'm not trying to discourage you from trying to hatch the egg...I just want you to know what you may be facing, if you do. Best wishes.
