From the 4H website regarding eggs....
""Yes. It is a rare occurrence. When two chicks hatch from the same egg, the egg usually has two yolks. Usually, one embryo out competes the other and only one chick survives to hatch. Many time both embryos die before hatch.""
Still doesn't explain the two headed chickens or the chickens with extra legs....maybe the absorb the weaker sibling just like a parasitic twin in humans. Yuck!

Hypothetical question, but the answer would be two chicks, which could be of different sex. It would be just like a case of a fraternal twin pregnancy for humans.

There's no way there's enough room in that egg for two chicks so it'd end up being some grotesque chick-like creature that's stillborn.

I'd rather have a 4 legged chicken, just to stop the kids moaning about who's getting the drumsticks a meal times!!

actually bayb chicks are formed in the egg whites...the yolk is only food for the chick... so probably just a really fat chick

I think it would have to be twin chicks otherwise there would just be two heads - what a horrible thought.

The two headed chick would be cooler
