Is it possible for there to be a blood ring in an egg with a living embryo?

[Faraday40]

I waited another week & still saw no growth. By then the good eggs were easy to tell. When I cracked the bad eggs open, some had dead rotting embryos, others nothing but the ring grew.

Don't rush to throw out, though. An early vein & blood ring could look alike. When all the other good eggs have spidery veins & you can see the chick's eye looking back, you'll know there's a problem with a mostly clear egg. I waited until the embryo shadow was fairly large in the healthy eggs.

Tonight, 9/13 will be day 10, I will give them another look and see if there is any difference.

Does anyone know if twin embryos EVER survive? This is my first time finding this with only my 4th hatch. I have 12 RIR's and day 7 of candling. Three have active moving embryos but one of those three have twins. One embryo is a little bigger than the other but both active and moving at separate times. I know the survival rate is not good but just curious if ANY have survived.

one, google twin chickens hatching on , crap, i forgot what its called, where most of the videos are. anyway you should find it. the thing is, one will pip before the other and drown or one dies the bacteria kills the other. it is possible but not likely.

Thats what I thought. Thank you
I will look it up. Out of the 12, I have 5 blood rings....the 3 eggs with live embryos which has twins, and 4 questionable. I've never been able to hatch more than ONE from shipped eggs. :-/
