Twins! I wonder what happens if one hatches a double yolker?

THAT... is such a good question, i wonder now too! :think:

Was she walkin' funny? LOL (cheering myself up at the expense of your poor cluckers sore patootie)

Nope, that girl is one tough cluckie!

We used to have a polish crested named Ozzie that layed doubles all the time, but never seen one that big. Whats her name?

She's an americana (easter egg chicken) and her name is lol, well... "Dorky"

 

[bodhi]

Perfect!

Just wondering how old she is? Our girls lay double yolkers early on when they start laying after the baby eggs, sadly we haven't had any young ones for a while, but I fixed that by getting more this spring!!

Man oh man that's HUGE! Poor chicky. Give her a peck for me...HA!

Holy Moly!!! Poor chicken.....probably equates to giving birth to a 10 pounder!! LOL

I wonder if they can interbreed.

My daughter in law likes chickens and last year she bought the funniest looking thing and it was called, "a turken" I'm not kidding!:crazy:
Half chicken half turkey!

Wow, that is one big egg!!

 

[AngelMomma]

Hahaha! I got one like that a couple of years ago from one of my hens. I think I took pictures too because we were so astounded! My laying hens are getting old now and they have alot of those bumpies on the shells. The old girls are barely even laying anymore. I think they will have to go to "Chicken Freezer Camp"

Youch! Here in Australia, or at least where I live, they don't let you go more then 10 days over and then they induce you. My first was 10 days over, and I was induced, second one was only about 5 days!! And nowhere near the 11 pound mark....Thank God!! :shock:
