Funny thing, i have hatched and raised hundreds of chickens and never saw twins or eggs with twin yokes. yesterday my wife was making breakfast and had an egg with 2 yokes, I came on sd and saw this post awhile later.....

updated pics please
This spring the wife and I are going to jump in. Time to start building a coop and researching chickens! We are thinking 6 to start, and will go with a good hearty variety to carry us through the learning curve.

Yellow squash... I try to give them as much fresh veggies as I can in the winter. During the growing season they forage for greens in the yard and get all kinds of greens from the gardens.They are particularly fond of dandelions, day lily,collard greens, and grape leaves. They enjoy squash, pumpkins ect as treats. If you want good eggs, you need to give them good food.
They also don't mind any table scraps we might have.

So I got an email from an old friend visiting the forum that wanted to know more about keeping chickens. I thought I'd answer it here.
First off, as a resource for info, theres alot of good sites, I really like, http://www.backyardchickens.com its the SimplyDiscus of the Chicken world!
Protecting these guys from predators is really important. In coops I have made in the past, we have had raccoons get in, but this one is build pretty well, and raised off the ground which keeps out the rodents too. The chickens go in every night on their own, we have to go and close the door in the pm, and open it the am. They do make a really cool automatic door, but its expensive, $250. You can set it on a timer. I have a DIY idea for one that I think I will try when I have time, for now, its the old fashion way it was done... I walk out, latch the door and walk back.
Some people build elaborate wire pens, My chickens roam the fenced in backyard. By day they need to watch out for hawks, we have had a few close calls, nothing fatal yet. Some people keep roosters as a deterent for hawks and coons. The rooster will put up a good fight. I can't have them here though. Neighbors would kill me. My biggest worry out here is the packs of coyotes that move thru the woods behind the pen and fence. We have a good size population here. I've no doubt that if a chicken would be left out , theyd be a midnight snack. WE also have fox denning up here.
Anyone thinking of do this, let me know. Post your questions and be happy to help.
