Please dont laugh but we got our first double yolker today that got me thinking, if fertilised would these have been twins, do you get twins in the poultry world?

there was a thread on this a while ago, i believe someone here managed to hatch 2 chicks from one egg but only one lived.

I have tried but the chicks/ducklings always died during developement. I don't think it is meant to be.

neither made it unfortunately but was memorable. Worth trying though

Twice I have had double yolkers hatch , first time both died the next day the second time 1 survived.
snake eggs on the other hand I have had loads of twins hatch from one egg and they always survived
