I have what are probs double yolkers from a young bird that i want chicks from. Has anyone ever hatched a double yolk egg or should i just wait til she settles to normal size eggs?

wait till she settles down,her eggies would get a bit bigger too.
Wouldn't had thought they would hatch as the air sac would be too small?

No... double yolkers won't hatch.

Now watch some one post to say they've got twin chicks
