With the face he’s making, he can only be saying...

I went to the shops recently; I saw something that looked EGGsactly like my incubator... I walked over. It said EGG BOILER. that could have been a bad mix-up if someone owned both

How about twins that didn’t make it. One external pip and that was it. FBCM. I had no clue. Once I opened up to see why progress stopped 2 fully feathered chicks. You can see how the one on the right had absorbed the yolk sack also.

Never seen twin eggs before

Never seen twin eggs before

1st time for me also. What’s surprising how far along they made it. Most would stop very early on in incubation
