That is soooo cool!

I do know of someone who has hatched a chick from a double yoker, but the one embryo was fertile and one wasn't.
If both are fertilized there is not enough room for both chicks to grow to full term.

I hatched a double yolker chinese goose egg once. I had to help them hatch because there was not enough room in there for them to zip. One gosling never did stand up, died about day 2, the other one made it to a week then died for no reason. So I have never tried to do it again.
