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.
There are a couple reasons why you will find double yolkers. All most all reasons (genetics, illness, surprise, accident) will have the same effect, the hens ovaries release 2 or more yolks instead of the usually 1 at a time .
They are both! Most of the chickens in the super markets are raised especially for meat use and grow so fast (heavy) that they are useless for breeding or pets. They are generally crosses between cornish and rock breeds. The roosters may reach market weight a few weeks sooner then the hens but they will soon follow.
Any kind of chicken can lay a double yolk egg the same as any woman can have identical twins
The record for multiple egg yolks in one egg is nine. Guinness Book of Records lists the world's largest chicken egg as having a diameter of 9 inches and contained 5 yolks. The heaviest egg at 1 pound (normal is 2 - 2.5 ounces) had a double yolk and double shell.
This animal may not have been able to carry the chicken away, or it may have been scared off. It could have been any carnivore like a raccoon, skunk, weasel, meat eating bird, or maybe a fox? Foxes are known for killing and not eating their prey. It must have been scared off, because foxes usually kill all chickens and eat only one or two. Especially getting into a double fenced chicken pen makes me think it's a fox. Definitely sounds like fox behavior. It probably got scared off by noise and would most likely have killed all the chicken had it not been. To keep out foxes you either need a mesh floor or you need to dig down about 2 feet and sink the bottom of your fence in concrete.
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.
Nothing really bad will happen unless you let the baby chicks grow. This is because lets say that the egg was token for cooking use, when a person cracks the egg open they will just simply find to yokes in it. But if the egg is left for a baby chick to hatch, there won't be enough space in the egg shell to hold both baby chicks. So in that case one or possibly both of the baby chicks would die.
no its a chick Oviuosly not! phsyco! i am 2 pysco double butt chicks no its a it!!!!!! yes it she is
Yes people can have twins and chickens can too. Two and more yolks can be inside a chicken egg shell, although more than three is extremely rare. The highest number verified by Guinness records is 9 yolks in a single egg.
It makes your crops worth double their money but I don't know what happens to fertilized zombies

Yes. the yolk of an egg is not the chick, it is the chicks food source. This means that the chick will be fat and healthy when it is hatched.

A fertilized egg has double the number of its egg cell. In case of human there are 46 chromosomes in a fertilised egg.
