Do i have twin ducks on the way?

[XSophiaRosex]

I've been incubating two Pekin duck eggs for the past 11 days. One of the eggs didn't show any signs of life however the other seems to have two embryos? They both wiggle about alot and its pretty wholesome to see. This is my first time candling and I'm just unsure on the situation. I know twins have a low success rate and need help hatching, but what do you guys think?

Just a little update, it's grew quite abit in the past 4/5 days. Now I'm even more unsure if it's 1 or 2 embryos it's so hard to tell!

Well I don't know about hatching twins, but I often get double yolkers... My guess would be that there are two ducks in there, and I hope they survive the hatch!

I hope the one doesn't absorb the other...

I've done some research and I'm more convinced that it's just one embryo, now just hoping for a healthy hatch

Good luck but I've never seen a successful double yolk hatch.

I've actually done some research and there's been quite a couple successful hatches of twins!
