Hatching eggs

[Patricia Jane]

I have a question that I feel rather silly asking but hey I want to know. I had and egg today with 2 yolks which sounds pretty common. My question is....Has anyone ever hatched a fertile egg that was double? Here comes the silly part, 2 chicks cant hatch right? Or is a fertile egg never double yolk or will it not hatch? What happens. As you can see I have no clue in hatching. I'm really curious.

Double yoked eggs are more common than what you think.. It is possible for them to hatch, not alot of people are successful but it has been done

They dont have a HUGE chance of hatching, but some people are successful

most the time only one chick survives, if any survive at all.
