  • Question from Bluebelle

    She wants to know if chickens have twins? - not that she's obsessed with the subject or anything

    Good question.............I've never heard of one unless you hatched a double yolker?

      My thoughts exactly Snadger - so what would happen if you had a fertilised double (or even triple) yolker???
      Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

          There was something on youtube showing someone (an American woman) helping 2 chicks to hatch from a single egg. Just had a look to see if I could find it, but couldn't. I think I posted a link once (ages ago!!!)

                Yes, that's the one Nicos. Fascinating I'm wondering now how many of us will have a go with possible fertilised double-yolkers

                  I remember being fascinated by it too AuntyMo

                  The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

                    I've an egg I kept back 'cause I reckon it is a double yolker, it's oblong with a 'point' at each end, never had one from my girls that I've used but some customers have fed back when they get one - lucky s*ds.
