two embryos in one egg

Date sort Score sort
It sounds like you have a double yolker developing. This is relatively rare and usually ends with both embryos dying since there isn't enough room in the egg. However, there is still a chance of them hatching and may be very interesting to observe. I've never personally had any double yolker eggs develop, but several other people have.

Here are some links detailing the stories of double yolkers:

It's very rare and unfortunately they may not survive. But I wish you luck and let us know if they survive or not.
