Fertile double yolk

[Kimmiec8kes]

This is my first time incubating a batch of eggs, and what do you know…. Two of the eggs are double yolk and have tiny chicks in there. Has anyone had any success hatching these type of eggs before? I’m excited but is worried at the same time.

I'm sorry I don't have any answer for you. I don't know enough about incubation. Good luck with your hatch. Hoepfully some experts will come soon.

There are a couple threads on here with those that have had this same experience and their outcomes (which I don't remember all the info)

Thank you for the encouragement, I’m excited but is also worried because never would I think I would be getting a double yolk egg, let alone having two chicks in there. I think my mother instinct just kicked in

I have read through the posts before I started this, most of them just ended with then saying that they will update but never did. Also everyone always say that the eggs will not make it, but I just hope someone would see this and actually have some good advice.

It's extremely rare for twin chicks to hatch. One baby might survive but both of them is very unlikely.

I know one member had a double yolk make it all the way to lockdown and both babies died right before pipping. Please keep us updated on their progress!

I have no idea, but I’m excited to see how it goes!

I would keep incubating and see what happens, one may survive, both may die or both may hatch! I can't wait to see the progress though

Thank you everyone, I will sure keep everyone updated and check in often. Hopefully by then someone that had experienced this will be able to help.
