Double Yolk, One Fertile ; Can it Hatch?

[2theDogz]

I have a double yolk on day 9 of incubation. Only one developing embryo. How does this scenario play out? If the chick does manage to hatch should I expect a mess from an unabsorbed yolk?
TIA

I have no experience with this scenario, but am very curious to see what happens. Will be following this thread for updates. Hopefully you can get some answers soon!

From my understanding, the chick is in the eggwhite, and the yolk is the the energy/nutrients supply. Having a yolk that is detached would likely result in a partially formed chick that's not able to use the extra yolk. I would not expect this to be a successful hatch.

However, are you sure that you aren't just seeing 1 yolk + 1 developing embryo?

Positive. Candled before setting.
Harder to distinguish 9 days in, but the dark area at the bottom is the 2nd yolk.

Did this baby hatch ? Was there any issues at hatch time ?

Unfortunately it did not hatch.

I have 2 doing this and one with both yolks developing
I’m mostly worried about the singles
They just don’t look like I would expect
How far did yours get ?
