Sorry it wasn't too exciting! The egg failed and there was only one chick in there, must have been feet and head I could see. I've been doing this a few years now and that egg REALLY looked weird like two chicks in there.
Alright you guessed 100% correctly! The chick must have been lying across the egg perhaps. Anyway an update is that the embryo(s) stopped moving and then in the morning when I checked, all the veins had shrunken in and there was a 'dead' egg. I opened it to have a look and there was one single...
I started with 23 Silver Laced Wyandottes and 6 of my own Campine x Aracauna x Silkie and at day 6 I could pick out the unfertilised ones and a cracked one, then the incubator started heating like crazy and soaring up to 41 degrees at one point. So I am pulling out dead embryo eggs left right...
Yes I am hoping that it's just the head and feet of the same embryo, but I'm sure it's two as they move separately and both have the eye dot that I could see a few days ago. Last night (12 hours ago) they were both still wriggling. The incubator keeps over heating though, so I'm getting another...

They are due to hatch in 8 days, so they are on day 13. I'm not holding my breath, but it's so cool to watch two dancing around in the egg! Another egg in the incubator shows a much larger embryo though, so they are delayed a bit. Probably due to being two in there, I guess?
Wow, first time I've seen two embryos in the one egg. I am fully aware they probably will fail as there isn't enough room, but it's amazing to see while candling. I took a quick video of it. If you want to see, I am gobsmacked and keep wanting to check it but I'm letting it alone to grow. Hope...
