How rare is a 3 yolk egg?
The likelihood that a mature hen will lay a double yolked egg without this genetic predisposition is about 1 in 1000, there are much fewer triple yolked eggs, but it gives you an idea.
If a chicken lays a double yolked egg and its fertilized what position do the baby chicks have to use to stay alive?
The small end of the egg should be placed down at all times. When advised to turn eggs during artificial incubation, the turn needs only to be 90 degrees from one side to the other. The egg should not be turned from end to end. Mother hens naturally just roll the egg from one side of the nest to the other, they do not stand the eggs upright. Now about the double yolked egg. It is unlikely that the egg will incubate to hatch. Most novice breeders get all excited when they candle a double yolked egg thinking they will get twin chicks but they are always disappointed. It happens very seldom. The two yolk eggs, while they will usually develop to about day 16 of the 21 day cycle will often end in the death of both developing chicks. This is because the egg shell is not well suited to sustaining twin embryos. The reason you keep the large end of the egg up for 21 days is so air will collect in the top of the shell as moisture evaporates. This air is used to sustain the chick just prior to "peeping" or getting out of the shell. Two viable chicks in the same shell use double the amount of air and will often suffocate prior to opening that all important first hole and allowing air into the shell while they continue to break out. Movement inside the shell is also important in those last few days and two chicks occupying the space restricts that much more than a normal single chick in an egg.
Why do other eggs have two egg yolks?
Eggs with a double yolk are not that uncommon. A double yolk results from two ovum dropping from a ruptured follicle. In some cases, two follicles rupture at the same time and a double yolked egg is produced. Some hens do this on a consistent basis and are often bred for this genetic trait. Double yolk eggs can be purchased in many major supermarkets. The Guinness Book of World Records reports a 9 yolk egg was once found. Here on my farm I have had eggs with 4 yolks.

Can double yoke eggs produce twins?
While double yolks can produce two chicks it will often cause problem because they are competing for nutrents and space within the shell. I have had twin bantam chicks hatch from what was obviously a double yolked egg. Fraternal twins, one cock and one hen.
Can two animals hatch from the same egg?
yes they can but they won't be born not enough room theoretically speaking A double yolked egg is not likely to hatch. An embryo may begin to develop from the germinal disc on both egg yolks, but usually there is not enough room for two chicks or the conditions are not adequate for two embryos and the chicks do not hatch.
What is the world record for the largest number of yolks found in one egg?
The world record for the largest number of yolks found in one egg is 9, as verified by the Guinness World Records. Multi-yolked eggs, also known as double-yolkers, are relatively rare occurrences caused by the hen releasing two yolks in quick succession.
