So in the 1st pic the eye of one is near my thumb and the 2nd on the opposite. In the video there is a cute moment when one looks like it's opening

That does kind of look like twin embryo's though its hard to tell. Is the egg larger than normal? Like a double yolker? It would have to be a double yolked egg to hatch two chicks.

It is a bit larger than normal I believe its from my call ducks! It does seem heavier than the others. It's very hard now to see in the egg, unlike the ones I started incubating at the same time. They are moving to noise stimuli. I guess only time will tell and mother nature or God will decide if they should survive. I have everything crossed and will let you know how it goes. This is my 1st batch of eggs that I've been able to incubate to this far as my old incubator had an awful habit of getting extremely hot all of by sudden and my eggs were ones I got from online, where as these eggs are from my quacky babies, (2 call and 2 miniature silver appleyard) be lovely to see how they come out as they all seem to enjoy each other if you get my meaning!!

Thats very exciting!
Please note that you will need to assist the hatch if these are twins, they will not be able to hatch in their own. @MGG may have some suggestions for you, but this is also a good article to read. Article 'Guide to Assisted Hatching for All Poultry'

I bought a dozen barred rock eggs from a neighbor. She gave me one egg and said it was a double yolk-er. I think I have 6 double yolks though. They are now on day 14.

Most only make it to day 10 though.

Thank you I'm not going to lie I am quite worried. I've already fallen in love with my cheeky ducky babies. I will have a read, any other advice would be greatly recieved!!

Wishing you and your twins all the luck I can for a safe and happy set of pip!!

How are they doing?

So we are on day21 all the eggs are very lively and reacting to my voice and me whistling! I have to say this makes me love them even more!! I said I would only keep 1 or 2 then it raised to 3 now I want to keep them all! I know its not practical but they seem so lovely. Mum and dad are currently working on their own clutch as are my other 2! Luckily I have got them both to lay in the run, one in the duckery, and the other in the hood of walk in cat tray! Sounds awful but it's just like a box with a hole cut in it as I removed the door so they can go in and out and filled it with straw and grass.
