Day 14 candle of 9 buff orp eggs showed 9 perfect, on target babies. Moving and happy. Today is day 18, 8 look perfect, but one looks like it has a circle of nothing and it's crowded on one side of the shell. It's alive and moving. I am pretty sure one of these had two yolks, but as development continued, the "second" yolk disappeared, I assumed I was seeing things any idea of what this is and how much hope I should hold for this baby hatching?

This is the same egg, I took a picture of the baby (dark side) and the weird circle on the other side. All my other eggs are dark except the air cell.
 
Your assessment could be right. A single living twin. Chances of it hatching successfully are almost non existent. B/C of all the fluid from the other side of the egg. You could put it upright in a carton, and hope for the best at hatch time, but... I doubt it will survive.

Wow, I've never seen anything like that. Does it look like a circle of veins?

It has a blank circle, like it would be a "clear", but surrounding that is veins, yes, in a circular pattern which ultimately branch off and look normal the rest of the egg. At day 14, all 9 looked the exact same, growing baby filling the egg. Then this...I am baffled.
 
I wonder if you could make a hole in the "clear" side to drain the fluid so it doesn't drown when it pips?
 
I am not sure that I would crack the egg. BUT I do like the idea of trying to hatch in an upright position in a carton. I would keep a real close eye on it. You may need to think about assisting in the hatch. Keep us updated. I would like to know how this turns out.

X2 with everything said, not sure what's going on but give it a chance.
