Besides not enough space - which is the primary reason not to set them - there is also a finite amount of nutrition.
Mammals and other live bearers have abdomens that expand and within certain limits, can provide all the nutrition demanded by multiple embryos.
Swine have the ability to resorb embryos if the nutrition is insufficient.

I will note that on mine, there was only one listed and it was the one in chrome. Chrome didn't detect the one on the computer, but both were trying to run. I disabled the one in chrome and I no longer get that message (or all the headaches that came with it!).

Advice plz. I have some duck eggs and most of mine are always muddy so far due to our weather. I put 4 naturally clean ones I found in my bator a few weeks ago and they r doing fine. I have 2 new ones that I would like to hatch but they are muddy or whatever gets on them,, I dont want to know,, lol. Anyway, which is the lesser of 2 evils,,, cleaning them and possibly removing bloom, or not cleaning and risking the germs involved? Normally, I dont clean eggs to incubate even if a little dirty, but these are a different situation. The reason i want to try these vs waiting for others is bc i recently got 2 muscovy hens and im pretty sure these eggs are from them. My drake is a Pekin and they were previously in with a muscovy drake so I would like to hatch them b4 my pekin fertilizes her new eggs. T houghts?

I wash lightly. Meaning I judge how hard it's going to be to remove the poop, and act accordingly. I either use a damp paper towel, or simply allow the water to run over the egg. If the water running over the egg can remove the dirt, it seems that the bloom stays intact. At least I won't be rubbing, and forcing germs inside.

Forget chicken and duck enabling, you are a Lego enabler!

I'll add to always wash in water at least 20F warmer than the egg. That will expand the contents forcing things out rather than vice versa.

That's brilliant. I wish I had done that. It really hurts.
