Challenge: Hatching The Impossible!!!!!

[MysteryChicken]

The other twin died, so I had to scrap it today.

The other double yolker is doing great so far.

It's day 6, & the second set of twins are still alive.

It is kind of sad to see double yolkers grow fine chicks until they die, before they hatch. Is this experimenting with live young a form of animal abuse. Not saying, just wondering.

No, it's not animal abuse, developing embryos live, or die whether it's under a broody hen, or in an incubator. It's what nature decides what will happen with the growing embryos.

Yes, it is sad when they die, but sometimes you just gotta push through it.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Why do you need to push through it?

What I mean is push through the sadness that comes when death happens.

Ok, I am going to still stick with my first guess. I am glad it is friendly and sweet. I read that initially the females can pick on the males. But from the ones I hatched that turned out male, they did seem to bite me alot when they were young more than the females.
