Is this a twin egg?

[thomp119]

I see two separate dark spots move separate from one another in the egg in question, while the other eggs I am incubating have only one. This is the best picture I could get. What are everyone's thoughts on this? I am on Day 11.

Twins are very hard to hatch. i still havent successfully done it yet. So if they are good luck!

What happened with this one?

One of the two embryos hatched. In my opinion, it quit on day 10-12. It was completely rotten, but was incased in a membrane away from the living chick. The chick that hatched was 1/3 of the size smaller than the other chicks that hatched and still continues to be smaller than the other chicks at 12 weeks. Additionally, it was the only chick born with a vaulted head (I don't know if being a twin had anything to do with it)

On hatched day, she had a pip with no progress for 20 hours, so I did help out with the hatch. By then, the membrane was vein-free and totally dried out. So it was not scary at all.
