No problem. This was the hoax I was referring to, by the way:

chicken-duck-hybrid-590-465-51.jpg


Someone cut the webbing out of this poor duck's feet so they could claim it was half chicken.
Omw........that is plain awful
WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!?!?!?! :mad::hit:hit
 
I remember on a hatching thread here, a long time ago, a member had checked her incubator and found 2 chicks, but only one empty egg. They were different breeds. She was trying to figure out what happened when her kids finally confessed to removing one empty shell.

I do hope you find a logical explanation.
 
I still think that those 2 are WAY to big to be in one chicken egg together, maybe a large duck egg? I’m not calling this a hoax just yet, I would never accuse someone of doing such a thing, like smuvers said, we aren’t that kind of group here at byc. I’m excited to see what you get back from the lab/college.:jumpy:jumpy
 
Quack-a-doodle-doo? I think some mistake was made somewhere along the line where what looked like two embryos from one egg were actually two embryos from two separate eggs. There is nothing to indicate hybridity in the duckling or chick, and there would be if by some bizarre biological mishap the babies were duck/chicken hybrids. Pheasants and chickens sometimes hydridize, and the offspring always show characteristics of both parents. But Pheasants and chickens are fairly closely related. Ducks and chickens are not. There's never been a documented case of ducks and true geese producing offspring, let alone ducks and chickens.
