About 10 or 11 days ago, I gave my broody hen some eggs to hatch. She sat ont hem faithfully for a little while, until another chicken snuck into her nest while she was on break and cracked almost all of them. One egg survived. I wiped it off and decided to give it to my other broody hen, who had some eggs just a little younger. I decided that when it hatched, I could take it inside until it's siblings hatched a few days later. So tonight i was candling them and I discovered that there are two chicks inside the egg! I have no experience with twin chicks whatsoever and I have no idea what to do. I had no idea that this was a double yolk egg until tonight. has anyone had any experience with twin chicks? If so, can you please let me know what you did and how I should go about this? Should I bring it inside and put it in the incubator? Or should I leave it with her? This is her first time being a mother, so I don't think she could help it or know what to do at all. Please, please reply! Thank you so much!
