Has anyone found "Twins" in one egg? *graphic pic inside*

[Yoda]

I have a chicken that lays jumbo eggs that are double yokers. I put one in the incubator b ut it did not hatch

I opened it and there were two baby chicks inside completely formed but they both ended up not making it cause there wasn't enough room for both to grow. Here are the twins below

From what folks have posted here, it is extremely rare for double yolkers to survive and then it's usually one chick that survives and it has to be helped to hatch. Peopel occasioanly incubate in hope of twins, but most cases end up like yours.
