if double yolk egg laid if try to hatch will any chicks be born2007-11-24 17:22:58Answers:

Only if the egg was fertilised prior to being laid. Then Two chicks can be born.

Rare,but very possible.

umm.. it really depends. how would you know it is double yolk? and if you got it out of a carton thats never gonna work. dont hatch it for food or experiments though. :( :)

I suppose if you let it hatch it would be a cute little set of twins.

i raised chickens for several years and incubated all the eggs in an incubator. i tried to hatch double yolk eggs many times with no success.

---

There wouldn't be enough room inside the egg for both embryos to develop properly and if an embryo doesn't grow correctly it dies, sometimes called "quitting". When the chick reaches the point of hatching it occupies all of the egg so there would not in any way be enough room for two.

I raised pigeons for years and I have seen "twins" once. Eggs of my own that have had two yolks always seemed to break--the shell just isn't strong enough.

A guy in our club suggessfully hatched and raised babies born of one egg, and the young were unusually small.
