Double Yolker Day 17 And Alive!

I found the video ... it’s only a 3 second clip from Day 9, but I think you can see them both swimming. I can’t figure out how to post the video tho (and I’m not on YouTube).

You can't upload it straight to BYC.
Must use Youtube or Vimeo.

Sometimes with human twins, one is absorbed by the other in utero.

Would it be weird if I said I wanted to talk to one of these surviving humans?
I wonder if they feel different.

Often they don't know until some illness causes them to have a scan done which shows some portion of another person absorbed in their body. Try to google it, I am sure you will find it interesting, Warning, some are not fully absorbed so the pictures may not be for everyone.

Doing so now.
Thanks...I've never heard of this before.
This is extremely interesting!

Woot keep an eye on them and now is the time to start watching the clock and think about making a safety hole.
About what time did you notice the internal pip?

+1 to this. They may have trouble making an external pip and then turning in the shell to zip.

Very exciting to see how well they have done this far.

It’s been since around 10 this morning but I think they did it sooner so around 8 a.m. so I will make a hole this evening or early tomorrow morning. Most likely tonight if there is no pip. I’m so excited! I’m trying my best to stay calm.

What's going on with the other eggs in the bator?
Any internal or external pips yet on them?

There's some evidence that Tortie cats are frequently chimeras, as well - that they contain two different sets of DNA, as happens with fused twins. One of the ways it's discovered in humans is that factor - they'll have more than one set of DNA in one body. It can be more than two, as well... heterochromia can be caused by it. Look up Genetic Chimera. I believe there was a thread on here about a chicken that appears to be a Chimera, which had male characteristics on one side of the body, and female on the other.

Edit - found one of them. I have no idea how to tag someone with a space in their name, but it's Farmer Connie's chicken.

Wonder if this is why I am having so much trouble figuring out if my splash is a pullet or cockerel at 3 months old!!
