Twin Egg With One Yolk

[TundraFang]

Hi, this is my first post here but I was candling my Australorp eggs today and I noticed two distinct spots on one of the eggs. They're both moving and seem fine for now but I know the chances of survival are slim. The egg isn't any bigger than the other eggs so I don't think it's a double yolk egg. Is it possible to have twins from only one yolk?

Welcome to BYC. That's an Interesting question, I've never seen it in any of my eggs.

When di you first candle and when you did, did you see two then?

I usually only candle when I'm choosing eggs to incubate, at day 10-11 and right before lockdown. Someone told me it's bad to candle too often so I try to limit it as much as possible.

Oh, interesting! I’ll be watching!

Here's the photo of it, my camera isn't very good so it's not as clearly shown as I'd hoped. Both "spots" are moving separately so they're definitely alive for now. I'm trying not to get my hopes up...
