OMG!, How neat, I can't wait to follow the progress. I will say some prayers for you and the babies. Hang in there.

With a double yolker being so hard to hatch, I'm hoping it's not a triple, because I'd have little hope for that one. Not much room in egg as it is for 2 chicks. We had a double yolked duck eggs that made it to the last day. They were definitely fraternal as 1 was yellow with black and 1 was black with yellow. Good luck with your hatch! I'll be watching how this goes.

Likely rather than a third yolk, you're beginning to get a good shadow from the growing chicks and it looks like a third or fourth yolk type thing. Pretty soon you wont' be able to distinguish masses they fill the egg pretty quickly.
Good luck with them, I've run three and none made it to hatch.

Here is an update. Upon candling the egg one last time, there are 2 babies and both were moving around really strong. This egg will go into lockdown tomorrow.

I am kind of worried as only an air cell on the big end of the egg. I am assuming that I am going to have to help these babies hatch out.

I will keep this post updated for those watching. I will also take pictures of the hatch.

nail biting nervous here.
