Possible Twin duck eggs

[Hykiko]

So I've been candling my eggs, I have both chicken and duck eggs in my incubator. The past few days I've noticed 2 of my duck eggs have 2 separate dark spots that are moving in different directions, this is a first for me. I'm quite worried that they might be twins as the eggs aren't that big to begin with, they have maybe 2.5 weeks left to hatch. I haven't had much luck hatching surviving ducks in the past two years, this isn't something I've ever dealt with before.

1. I don't know if they'd survive, I know there isn't much space for twins in the first place.

2. I know these might be crossbreed babies. I have 2 male Khaki Campbells, so I know one of them is the father (unless one of my roosters magically got the job done as there is 5 roosters with my ducks), for females there is 1 female Khaki, 2 Appleyard's, 2 Orpingtons and 1 Ancona. So, no idea who the mom is till the babies hatch.

3. If they end up being twins and survive, what would I be looking at?

sorry I don't have any pictures or videos at the moment, I will try to post pictures/vids later.

I highly doubt that the roosters are the fathers. Twins in an egg are very rare, but maybe at least one will survive. I’m definitely following this thread!

I wonder will one twin absorb the other, then you could get a chimera chick with two sets of DNA

Twins like this is like ferternal twins in people, they aren’t identical so no absorbing the other.

I got videos posted; I found a third egg last night that might have twins. movement in these eggs are completely different than the other eggs. I didn't get to candle these guys till last week so didn't see first development to confirm twins from the beginning as I had a hen sitting on them for a while till, she stopped.
