Has anyone here ever hatched or attempted to hatch a double toilet? I just found a huge egg in my boxes and just candled it and it is a double yolker. And I want to put it in my next batch to go into the Bator.

@Sally Sunshine what was your ratio of Pullets to Roos?

this hatch was 18:7

but the past two small hatches were 90% males, I cant remember what I found at one point a few years ago when I started with them, but something to do with the cold and hens producing more females. Not sure its true and never really looked into it because its not like I will air condition their coops to below freezing anyways
