How can you tell if a duck egg is twins?

[Amanda39]

I have 2 out of 6 duck eggs larger than the other 4, and when I candle, there seems to be movement on different sides of the eggs. I don't see this in the smaller eggs. Is there a video I could see if my 2 eggs do have 2 in them? Should I video them and let you guys determine?

I had a twin egg, it was larger than the others, and at day 5 candling I had 2 separate "spider webs". It sounds like you might.

I never saw 2 separate spider webs, I clearly only rememeber seeing one, however, if they are identical, wouldn't they be within the same spider web?

I know for mine, it had 2 spider webs, and a larger egg. So, I am not sure. I do know twins are a very tricky set to hatch. Good Luck!!

Well, the eggs in question are clearly larger, but I guess we'll find out in a couple weeks!
