Double Yolk Incubation Research Project

Very sad that I had to take out number 9 yesterday

It was becoming very mushy on the inside though so it’s good it was removed. We currently have 6 eggs with a “dropped” air cell so I’m counting those as on track! 1&6 I’m still not sure about but I’m hoping my new candler will “shine some light on it” when I get it

I looked thru all my watched threads and couldn't find the twin duck one. It was a long thread and a lot of people were following intently and rooting for these babies. Ever since then I have followed every twin thread that I noticed. The others were all chickens I think. Some were successful and others were not. Each one, was just one egg. So you have a greater chance of success, I would think. (I have never incubated eggs, so have no advice, just here to cheer you on...)
One thing I was surprised to notice tho, is there are many naysayers who are very critical of people attempting twin incubation. So just a heads up, you may encounter this.
Good luck!

Did a search myself too and couldn’t find anything! Maybe it got removed? Definitely found a few about chickens though!

There’s naysayers in every aspect of science so that doesn’t bother me! Plus this is an experiment intended to get results and find possible methods to make hatching twins a more exact science to achieve success. So we will see where it leads! I’m less than 2 weeks away from hatch day with half my babies still hopeful so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

Thank you for following, the babies and I appreciate your support a lot

So..I wonder.... if you could somehow make the space they need bigger.? is that the only problem,space?

Another problem is there not being enough nutrients.

I’m actually working on a few ideas to help this problem!! Next round I’ll be implementing the changes I’ve come up with but I need to get the necessary materials first

Working on this as well! I have a few ideas to help with this problem which will be applied to the next round of babies once I have the materials I need

Oh.. do you ever see the lamb that was growing in the bag?..something along those lines eh? It will be interesting to see what can develop...
