The only help i can offer you is this video that i had watched: Sorry, i dont have any experience hatching twin chicks.

If it helps my flock consists of large breeds that lay light brown/cream colored eggs and they have facial feathers, a trait that he has strangely not inherited.

He's a bit older, can you tell now :P :

The mother could just have accidentally cracked the egg and then ate it, or the egg was bad and she was hungry so again she ate it... Who knows...:idunno

Well it's a year later and they are both Roos. :P That's Midnight, he is alone in his mini coop because his girlfriend went broody. This is Tweetie and below is his girlfriend. I will have to get him another one so her back recovers...:/ Midnights girlfriend. Their actual chick, he has...

I will post some pics when I get the chance. :)

Yeah, it's one of mine, my broody hatched him. I just don't know what breed of chickens I have, they were always "just chickens" to me until last year. :P

What breed is this little guy?

Any fruits, especially watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes and fresh figs. Most veggies. Sesame and sunflower seeds. Boiled or scrambled eggs. Yoghurt mostly in the summer. Cooked oatmeal in the winter. Sometimes spaghetti noodles because they think they are worms and it is hilarious to watch.:lol...

That they are, polish chickens also have a funny hairdo.

They are houdans.

They probably tried to call him or just were more interested in the other eggs, try to put small walls around them so the chicks dont wander off to far.

He could have gotten out of the nest and the couldn't find his way back so he chilled and died...

Hmm, the eggs could hatch but I wouldn't count on it... The eggs probably got chilled and died or shrink wrapped if she was gone from the nest for a long time. I would still put them in the incubator, you never know... Don't clean the eggs, at this point it won't help, if the bacteria has...

I have a lonely chick as well three days old. I have him in a brooder but he does get lonely so I added a hot water bottle with a fuzzy cover and he LOVES it!

I agree, at this age a couple of bells will do the job. I hang lettuce and stuff in my coop to keep them occupied, forgot yours were still young. :P I am glad they are doing better! :D

I always worried about sharpies too but I had put an old egg under my broody to encourage broodiness and I used a sharpie to mark it, the chick hatched fine and is very happy and healthy.

I'm so sorry to hear that... :hugs

Aww, I'm so sorry... :(:hugs have a good cry and move on, there is nothing you can do about it now...

Are you sure it was day 16? Some chicks just hatch early, I don't think she stepped on it, the chick would be crushed. Is it dry and fluffy? Check the shell, is there any goop or blood? If not the chick is probably just early, where were you storing the eggs before placing them under her?
