I didn't know this was a double yolk.

Wow! Never heard of this. Best of luck to you & the twins!

You could buy hatching eggs.
I can't have a roo so i buy from NPIP certified, breeding to standard breeders.

Are they all hens in the end? That's what I would be concerned about.

No, they dont all turn out to be hens.
No hatching guarantees hens.
Just like buying sexed pullets there is a chance of getting a cockerel.

I suppose that I could just use a rooster for my girls to possibly go broody and then stop and cull him for some dinner. I'm really happy right now though because I have only gotten hens from the store I have purchased from. I'm really beginning to wonder if my black sex link might be a roo though because I got 6 eggs 2 days in a row and now I'm only getting 5. Could just be a fluke but I will just have to wait and see.

You won’t get an egg from every hen everyday, they take breaks
