Does anyone have experience hatching double-
yoked eggs? What kind of succes did you enjoy?
Did any eggs hatch into siamese chicks, two-headed,
four-legged, or other unusual chicks? Thank You,

I've only known this to happen once, when two apparently healthy and unjoined chicks hatched. Unfortunately, they both died within a week.

I have hatched a double yolk mallard duck egg. While candling eggs I discovered this one and let it continue to incubate, It hatched, pipping at both ends one emerged healthy and lived the other smaller and weaker and only lived a few days.
