So pretty!
I’ve recently decided to start breeding Olive Eggers. My goal is to have a large green egg laying flock. (My last name is Ham. Cute huh?) I’ve acquired 2nd import Silverudd’s Blue & Black Copper Marans from Greenfire. I have yet to decide if I will cross the Marans with Cream Legbar or Ameraucanas .

We had one once that was a single dinosaur sized yolk!

If an egg like that hatched, would the chick be huge? And is it possible to hatch a double yoker; is there such thing as chicken twins????

Yes, there are chicken twins. However, it’s rare. Most of the time it will not hatch or only 1 chick will hatch.
@ClareScifi i saw an old post where you were hatching a double yolk egg. Did they both survive. If yes, do you have any pictures?
