Lucky1: If I could take some of your time... could you describe exactly what the shrink wrapping LOOKED like? In detail? Or do you have a good pic? In my last 2 hatches I had a lot of chicks that i thought were shrink wrapped (but I am new to this!!) that I helped out. Now, some people on...

Congrats on your little miracle baby!

Don't stay away... I have only been on here a month or so and waaaaaaaay more people have been supportive than anything else! I have posted some pretty stupid questions and people were very helpful with this newbie! Most people understand that this is a website called "Backyard Chickens" not...

mstricer: With no offense, I just want to explain to you why many interpreted that you were being slightly mean spirited. Way back in this thread you had said something like Tracy "knew it was a double yolker and you set it anyway to see what would happen". Can you see that could be seen as...

I think Carrie has a good plan. I just went through this because I had a single chick that had pipped for over 24 hours with no action on actually hatching. I decided to help and boy did it bleed. So I let it sit for hours, tried again, and it bled again. In the end I helped it out but I...

You are going to keep the questionable one in the incubator just in case? I would! But then again I am not very good at candling so I wouldn't trust myself!

Just ignore them! Those posts are more about "look how much more I know about this than all of you" than actually helping anyone! I mean really, I LOVE chickens, but when it comes down to it, I don't see the moral high ground of not setting a double yolker. They exist in nature and (even when...

When are they due?

My jaw is on the floor that other eggs are twins, too! Talk about anxiety!

If you and your vet are on the same page, don't listen to the naysayers! I honestly believe your instinct and intuition is more important than anything else when it comes to these things. Same thing goes for if you end up needing to help them out a little at the end. Good luck! Fingers crossed!

This is soooooooo cool - thanks for posting! I can't wait to see how it goes!
