I set a double yolker 14 days ago. I just candled it, and I see lots of veins. I comparison to two other eggs of the same age, I think it looks good. I see dark, thick veins and two big yolk/chick masses. Air cell looks good, same as any others I've hatched successfully. It is either barred rock X barred rock cross OR barred rock X white leghorn. I'm crossing my fingers for this one!
 
:fl
Pay close attention to that one at hatch time. One air cell will probably cause problems for two chicks and they'll likely need some help. Good luck!
 
I'm on school holidays on hatch day and for two days after, so I'll have plenty of time to hover over the incubator. I have performed three assisted hatches, two being successful. I surprise myself with my patience sometimes.
 
Okay, so it's going into lockdown later today. I candled last night, and looks pretty good. Only a little space left, and I can see thick red veins. Air cell looks alright, a bit on the small side, but that's the norm for mine. The about double in size on the last few days. Fingers crossed it works out!
 
I will be waiting!!!!!

Day 20! Still looks alright, no internal pip or anything, same with the other egg though. I have the temperature a smidge low though, so they always hatch around day 22. And technically, they're on day 19.5, so I'm calm and patient. For now.
