AHHHHHHH!!!! I'm TOTALLY hating myself!!! *Pic added*

I only press and sealed the holes and left the rest of the egg open to air. Funny thing though, the little bugger is still alive! It's kinda neat to the press and seal stuff looks like it's been pulled in like a vacuum developed. I swear if he makes it and especially if they both are alive I'm going to make sure those babies get the best life possible! I got to thinking though. If they are both alive, this may have been a good thing for hatching if they make t that far. I have heard the biggest problem with double yolk eggs is that the chick in the back thats not near the air cell drowns because it can't get to air. With this hole in the side, who knows, I may be able at day 20 to remove all of the press n' seal and they COULD be able to hatch on their own. I MAY have pioneered a new way to hatch double yolk eggs where the minimal help is needed. LOL. I'll keep it updated. But so far I'm very impressed this little guy is still making it!

Also, forgot to mention....I upped the humidity a little too. Just in case it loses and water. Besides i have one egg in there with a crack and I don't have any liquid bad-aid or unscented candle wax. I didn't want it loosing moisture either. I'm not really worried about that one too much though cause that guy is doing more than fantastic.

I will definitely keep you guys updated every day! I was thinking that if this pans out in a really positive way, it could become the new standard for hatching double yolk eggs. Like when you are half way through incubation to CAREFULLY chip a hole in the middle and press n' seal the hole so that at hatching you have a better chance of the back chick making it. I'm just thankful I was really careful in opening it as I didn't want to make a mess. I didn't cause any bleeding, break the yolk or anything. I got really lucky with that. I can take a pic if you guys wanna see. But I would leave the press n' seal on it, and leave it in the bator cause I don't want to move it too much and cause any more damage than I already have.
