Thats kinda what I thought...but its soo hard to tell. Would the body look that dark?

Not sure if you saw my edit on my previous post...did you candle from the air sac side to get a different view? That's where I typically candle.

I keep watching the video trying to figure it out...I think it's one. I THINK.

I did candle from the bottom and top and couldn't tell anything. From one side it looks like there are two distinct seperate embryos...from another (the one the video is shown) there is some mass in the middle but not clear enough to know if its connected. Its only 10 days...would they be that big if it were one whole chickie or that small if it were two??

I am thinking you are seeing head and chicken butt. BUT--I suppose it could be a two-fer.

You'll just have to be patient and see!

I don't know if it was or not...heres the pic...kinda deformed looking to me. died on day 12 I think.

So it looks like the dark mass you were seeing was definitely just the one chick developing, but at the same time, that looks like a lot of yolk! Maybe, it was a double and only one of the chicks started to develop? I guess it will forever be a mystery unless someone more knowledgeable comes along!
