1 twin out! The other still inside but alive and I think will be okay with all that room now. They were side by side in egg so I'm glad I did intervene because they were stuck.
I am watching as said before..#1's top beak tip to see if it gets pointy or starts to round. It will give me good idea about #2 and how to move further on day 22 and/or 23.
It turned day 21 at 4 pm today. I did as listed/shown above. Both are alive..the one here..#1 can be seen or his beak can..#2 at opposite end but can be seen moving between crack in outer shell. I hope he pips. That is main worry now...him/her pippin to breath.
I broke outer shell around twin #2 area for the fact if no air cell. When internal pip happens they take first breath..no first breath when needed mean suffocation. Making sure breathing is #1 now i will watch for pip or beak shape...
I did pop air cell and uncover 1 twins beak...why no danger in doing so and I can watch the tip of his top beak for the point. This will give me an idea on the other, unseeable chicks progress..so i know when to get invasive safely when absolutely needed. I do break shell from around the pointy...
Day 21 both alive. I did break away outer shell from pointy end where 1 twin is..both still alive..one piped "internally" already but I broke shell away.
I always candle first but if I can not tell weather the egg is live at day 19 then yes I water test. I would rather know for sure then have a rotten egg explanation in lockdown that could hurt my others. Agree or disagree it is a personal choice. I will do all I can to check an unsure egg before...
