Twin chicken development

Do not attempt to hatch them until after they have pipped. Actually hours after they have pipped. Helping before they pip may cause them to bleed out. Good luck!

Thank you for the information. Change of plan then. Should I wait to see two pips or just one?

24 hours after first pip, minimum.

This is so exciting! Cant wait to hear how it goes. Have any hatched yet?

Thank you for the help, I'll check out that link now. So far non have hatched or pipped but two of the eggs are currently shaking gently. Hopefully soon I'll see some pipped eggs

Try to be patient. Do not open your incubator unless absolutely necessary. Any change in the internal environment at this point could be disasterous.

Incubator will remain shut until all eggs have hatched and chicks have dried. Two eggs have pipped so far. There is still no sign of movement from the twins so far. Hopefully they will have pipped by tomorrow.
