Could a double yolked egg be fertilized by different sperm. Are the two yolks split in the egg, or is it a case of the hen releasing two seperate fertilised ovum at the same time, each being fertilised by a different sperm cell, each in it's own yolk and being encased in the same shell. Not sure myself, anyone out there have an answer.

Oi! thats a dozen questions in one there.  :)

 

I don´t think there is a single easy answer to it either.

 

Ovum are definite single Sperm set-up. Soon as a sperm penetrates ovum outer membrane, chemical reaction makes it impermeable to any others.

 

Don´t know how double yolk works tho, or cause.

Just trying to liven up the banter and get 'Pigeon Talk' a little more rife  like lol.

Of course it can roland,and has happened in human`s, fraturnal twins mean 2 seperate eggs fertilized by seperate sperms.

   Indentical twins mean egg splitting in 2 after being fertilized by a sperm.

  

So if the hen spreads and gets jumped by a cock quicker than her mate..BINGO...
