Multiple Twins when candle lighting at 10 days!

[cowgillbrooke]

Help I’m a first time egg Hatcher. We got our eggs for free from a friend. We are trying to hatch 8 blue Swedish ducks. When I did the candle lighting yesterday I was surprised that I have 6 that are definitely twins! Anyone have this before! I have videos I just don’t know how to share.

Twins generally don’t both survive, but you can try anyway!! There’s a few current threads about people trying to hatch twins, you might check up on those. Good luck!

Nothing to be concerned about, it’s actually quite rare for both birds to survive in the egg. 1 normally overtakes the other and the weaker therefore absorbs. Let us know what happens and it will be great if you do end up with twins!!

The one absorbed the other and I only got one healthy chick. It was after day 10, but I don't remember. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
