2 CHICKS 1 EGG

[EoghanG]

Just thought it was crazy.At the start of the year my laying hens
lay gigantic eggs and always wondered what would happen if i
hatched one and this year had my incubator set up when i put
it in i was just expecting to giant chick.the shell was too thick
to candle so i didn't even know if it was fertile.


bantam silkie, salmon faverolle, lakenvelder, big twin egg



Most of the pics i have are of after dew to not having a clue.
I thought it was strange when it started to crack on opposite sides
but thought the chick was so big it was just bursting the shell.



I saw the chick was having trouble so i pretty much cracked it out and
when i got him out i got a surprise. Other guys ok looks a little cramped.



The 2 big guys beside their egg.I had big eggs similar 2 maran eggs
and 2 of these big ones


Big single maran (not pure hens a cross)


I would love to see if anyone had anything similar happen.

That so cool! I have not had a double yoker but I would like to try it. !!!!

I have heard plenty of stories of double yolk eggs being laid, incubated, and a chick hatching. ONE chick. None of the stories I have read or heard have both chicks hatching. Most don't even have either one survive al the way to hatch. So this is pretty amazing, indeed.

Thats awesome!

I had a egg once from a easter egger that was supper huge.
Me and hubby took bets on how many yokes was in it.

To my surprise I cracked it and another egg with a hard shell came out. The egg inside was normal with a single yoke but the huge outside egg only had a white cushing the inside egg and had no yoke.
I took pics and there on my computer.
