Two chicks on the same yolk = monozygotic twins. Two yolks and two chicks = fraternal.

If they don't make it, be sure to crack it open and take pics.

From everything I have read about double yolked eggs, they won't be able to hatch. Not enough room in the egg for two, it is not like in other mammals where there is room to expand.

Is the egg any bigger than a normal egg?

That's very interesting and you most definitely can see both embryo's in the egg! I would also love to see a short video of them wiggling around! That would be way cool if they both made it. I am scratching my head about when they absorb the yolk what would happen there. I guess we will all just watch this and see!
