I hope they make it for you, I know it's rare but I've heard at least one success story where both babies made it. I'm rooting for your twins!

As am I

They are in an extremely extra large egg and there's definitely room for two. It's twice the size of my red sex link eggs. I'm not getting my hopes up, I just want one to make it out because I'm going to keep it.

I aint no negative nancy, but I am however, a realist, and just know that both of the chicks in that shell will PROBABLY, not for sure, but probably not make it, sometimes even both of them wont make it, but hey, there is a first/second/3rd/4th time for everything am i right?

I just want one to make it, if both do then that's two for one. I'm just so stressed about them theres nothing I can do

I want to keep one or both (know chances are slim) If they make it out because this is my first hatch and every time I see the chicken (s) I'll remember the twin egg. I have an album in my phone too of the progress so we can have it to show whether they make it out or not. Everyone we know is rooting for the egg, it's hilarious. They ask more about the egg than our family!

@Compost King what kind of egg hatched from that list? It looks red.

Not sure which picture you are asking for, its not the first one but those 2 are Ayam Cemani (cull due to pink toe) and a Silver Leghorn, the middle picture is a Naked Neck project bird from the MNN pen. It doesn't look to have any naked neck but half of them won't. The last one that looks white in the picture but is actually red is from my Red Bird Dark Egg project where I am trying to get my own version of a production Red with really dark eggs. I personally see no benefit to dark eggs but some people really love dark eggs so I figure since I happened to stumble on Production Reds with dark eggs I would keep selecting the darkest of the dark eggs and keep hatching them. White eggs are just fine with me though, as long as they are from healthy non factory birds.

I love dark eggs for the look, but incubating them is another story. I like to have a colorful egg basket and give variety when people want eggs for cooking.

I like dark eggs in a collection of all different eggs. Like when I give out surplus eggs I like have dark, tan, white, blue, green, pink and Olive just because a variety of different eggs looks nice.

A lot of people like that. People here were fascinated that egg shells are different colors. A lady once offered me $5 for a dozen multi colored eggs. Crazy.
