Twin Chicks Double yolk

The biggest problem you'll be facing is chick positioning inside of the egg prior to hatching, and deformities caused by two fetuses occupying one eggshell. May I remind everyone that an eggshelli in no way resembles the uterus of any mammal species known to science.

The yoke inside the shell is merely food for the developing chick while a human baby is nourished by an umbilical cord attached to a placenta . After 60 years with chickens I am unawares of any successful hatching of twin baby chicks from a double yoked egg. However I hope that 60 years with every type of chicken has taught me not to count my chicks before the double yoked egg hatches.
 
I am going to candle the eggs later, my sister wanted a pineapple upside down cake at 8:30, tonight and will update.
If she requested a PUSDC at 8:30PM, are you sure that your sister isn't broody as well? Just pulling your leg.

I Candled The Eggs And The Double Yolker Did Not start. I cracked it open this evening and it didn't start :( but it is nearly impossible to hatch these eggs anyway.
 
Day 18 tomorrow! I tried to get a decent candling pic but it's so crowded that you can't see anything :(
 
I do! :) if you look up at post 186 you can see the big egg in the corner. I have candling pics but after day 14 it's hard to see anything :( I'll look for them and post them as soon as I hip on my pc. There is at least one little wiggler in there.
