Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

Assuming both embryos develop, there will be two chicks. Search it in the search bar and you'll probably find some posts about it. The one I remember reading about was one that both chicks hatched and turned out to be a pullet and a cockerel.

Twins! My daughter would love to hear that. Someone asked me the same thing the other day about our double yoker and I didn't have an answer for them. Now I do.

I haven't had a double yolker egg in years. My adult girls are all too old to lay them. Hopefully I start getting some from my Meyer girls next month. Approximately 4 and a half weeks until they start laying.

That's really cool that someone hatched a double yolker egg. I didn't know such a thing was possible. Twin chicks would be awesome.

This is the one I read about, I think. (It was ages ago that I read it, so I don't remember if this was the one, but it's similar at least. ) https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/104245/double-yolker-yolk-hatched-video-p-16-13-week-pics-p-51 They actually hatched two double yolk eggs, but one of the chicks from one of the eggs didn't make it. The other egg had a cockerel and pullet hatch from it, and they updated about all three hatchlings at 13 weeks old on page 51 of that thread. So not identical twins, but twins in a sense, I suppose.

Thanks pipdz! That thread was pretty cool. If I get any double yolkers I'm gonna try and hatch it. I had no idea you could have 2 chicks in 1 egg. I'm sure it's gotta be tight in there tho

Thx everyone. Unfortunately my leghorn passed in my arms this evening. So sad. I tried the vitamins and electrolyte in the water even with a dropper. I felt so helpless, my first loss. I have a RIR, EE,, Salmon faverolle and meal maker left. They are drinking and eating fine.

I got my Meyers babies tonight. I ordered 2 Blue Copper Marans pullets and 1 blue ameraucana pullet. They surprised me with an extra, but an extra what? Its obviously splash and it looks like an ameraucana, but it has pink legs?

I'm glad everyone arrived! And for as much as you spent on 3 chicks I would hope they sent you an extra! Mine are still driving around in circles in OH, Last update was around 7 tonight and they were in Columbus.. I'm starting to think my hubby is right, we are gonna have some dizzy chicks if they ever get here.

I hope they make it safe and sound.
