If fertilized, would it result in twin chickens?

In theory yes, but I don't think it's very likely that they would actually see it through to hatching or surviving much beyond.

No joke (yolk) - we once had 5 double yolkers in a row.
Freako chicken farm or what...

we might try this out - we get at least one double-yoker a week from one of our chickens and friends are willing to lend us their incubator..

The chicken/egg factory near me sometimes sells cartons of 6 double yokers. I have no idea how they know ! And I am not sure I want to see the weird Siamese-chickens on that line.

Which is cheating really, superstition in my family was that good luck follow a double yoke.

The question was for woffle but since you have a cock can you pop around to woffle's and fertilize some eggs?

Hold the egg over a strong light and you can see.

(I was a professional egg grader in the past)

I would of thought they'd get squished?

Try that take out of egg/cling foil trick the Japanese school kids discovered if you have an incubator.

I get my eggs from a bungalow up the road (a bungalow that lays eggs!) & the 1st lot I ever got from them, all 12 were doubles & at £1.50 a doz I thought that was pretty good.

I've had a triple yoker before.

Yonks ago when I sold eggs I used to get extra large barn eggs off my supplier, I once cracked 2 eggs in a pan & had 5 yolks! (& no, I haven't been to Elevenerife or own a dark black lab)

think the last time this kinda thread came up either someone linked to it or I googled it myself (yes I'm sad like that sometimes) a page where someone had researched it, they said having multiple double yolkers in the same box isn't that big of a deal.

I've not but I have gotten a sixer shreddie a cpl times 🙂

Yes, we have a cockerel (and 9 hens) - tiny little Polish thing called Napoleon.

It's very funny as all our girls are pretty big breeds - Orps / Light Sussex / Cochin / Araucana crosses. We didn't think he was actually fertilizing the eggs (after watching him repeatedly hump a distinctly unimpressed Cochin in the ear). But friends took a random selection of 5 eggs and they're all due to hatch tomorrow...

Good question, especially as it is the albumen which becomes the chick
