    I did help, but too late. I hear another chick, so I guess at least one is still alive. What should humidity be???? Is that why this is happening? The membrane was tough/dried out. How long should the zipping take? How long from pip to zip and from start of zip to out?????

    Twins anyone?

    Is it possible for two chicks to hatch from one egg and survive? This is my first hatch and upon candling one of my eggs we discovered two very active chicks in one small white egg. This was at day 7 and day 10. Today is day 19. Does anyone have any insight?
