Does anyone on DU know about raising chickens?

If the eggs were fertilized by rooster 🐥🐥

Fire away.

We still get store eggs sometimes and we got a run of double yolks, figure it's excess hormones...true they need to be roostered to hatch...

Humans have eggs that split, and it's hereditary.

the smaller ones.

just cooking them.

...she raised a couple of them.

continue to eat store bought. The presence of chickens and eggs will bring in even more coyotes, bobcats, and snakes than usual. My one horse has already been bitten four different times by rattlers. They come into the barn area to eat the eggs the quails lay.

is it usable? usually when a horse has survived a snake bite they are pretty much useless any more after that. I had a dog that kept getting bit but she finally died after the 4th time.

to ride the trails until I retired him last year. He is 31 years old.

is they either make it or they don't. Antivenin is expensive as hell and I don't know if you can even get it for veterinary purposes any more. Doesn't much matter what you do but keep them near food and water. I suspect some or all of your animal's bites were close to dry bites or there is no way you could have kept using him.

extreme swelling to lower legs and feet can founder a horse and bites to the face will often cause breathing problems and that tends to make them kind of brain dead ever after - maybe an explanation for not avoiding multiple bites? Scary dealing with it, I know. My youngest son was bitten when he was 18 months old. took a helicopter ride and 12 vials of antivenin. Glad we had a local hospital and Dr that knew what to do.

Now, a triple yolker, that would be something the crow about

Double yolk eggs are uncommon but does occasionally happen.

usually get sorted out at the "factory" so you normally can't buy them. there is a restaurant in Tucson that serves double yolk eggs as a bit of a gimmick. (the Hungry Fox on Broadway if anybody cares

I have had them from hens inconsistently, in other words I don't think you can select/breed for the trait. don't know if twin hatchings happen.

Mass egg producers will typically cull out the double yolks, so if you have your own chickens or get them from a smaller producer doubles are more common, but still quite infrequent.

If you are cooking them alone, then doubles are something of a novelty, but they can throw off some recipes because the types of proteins are in different quantities. It's not really a big deal, but enough of one that mass producers try to cull them so that they have a more consistent product.

2 dozen a week.

Check her out (if you can catch her!)

He bought a bunch of chicks, built a chicken coop, etc. He was born and raised in the city, no farming experience. The chicks started growing until finally one morning, we heard a rooster crow. It turned out they were all roosters! He never heard the end of it.
