Hatching Muscovy Twins Advice??

[LuckyDuckie2287]

Hello everyone!!!

Long time reader, first time joining and posting! I have learned so much from all these threads and I'm really hopimg someone can advise me as I head into the second half of incubating my muscovy eggs.

I should start off by saying that I've never hatch an egg in my life. So I'm a complete newbie, though I've researched these threads day and night about it. I currently have 5 healthy, growing eggs in my incubator (yesterday was day 16) and I discovered last night during candling that I have twins!!

I've read it's super rare, and there isn't much info except that I will have to help them hatch if they make it that far, as well as set up a separate incubator for my high-risk twin egg.

Can anyone give me further advice? When do I step in to help them hatch? Which end do I start with? Will they be ready sooner than the other eggs (similar to human babies)? I want these babies to make it!!

Thanks in advance!!! So glad to take the leap and join the site!!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Good luck with your hatch! I've read of one post here where someone successfully hatched twin chicks.
