duck egg- TWINS??

[lexidanielle94]

I am incubating two duck eggs. I have never incubated duck eggs before.
When I put this one up to the candler, it appears to me that it may have two embryos. Could this be twins?
Also, I am open to any advice on hatching duck eggs.

How long has the egg been incubating?

 

[lexidanielle94]

12 days!

If you see two heart beats its twins but usually won't hatch.

It is possible to have twins in one egg However, they often run into problems and don't make it to hatch, and if they do make it to hatch, often need to be assisted.

Are you seeing two 'things' move separately?

Have you ever incubated any type of eggs before?
Do you have a calibrated thermometer in your incubator?
A salt tested humidity gauge?

I once hatched twin chickens although didn't know until I had more Chicks than egg shells in my incubator in the morning.

I have incubated many chicken eggs. This is why first time to incubate ducks but I do have the proper set up. When candling, I do in fact see two things moving around separately.
