Welp, the first egg hatched two days early... No signs from the twin egg yet.

The first chick is fully fluffed and ready for the brooder! Still no signs from the twin egg...

What kind of chick? Is it an Australorp? So cute! Watching to see the rest...

What a precious baby! What breed or mix is this?
Any update on the twin egg?

There are some postsThreads on BYC from several years ago with twins that successfully hatched and some not so successful. Good luck...

You're right! It's an Australorp!

It's an Australorp chick! No updates on the twin egg yet but I think it might have moved.

So what I have heard is twin yolks produce fraternal twins and what you have would be identical twins.

HOWEVER: there's not enough yolk for them to both get what they need, which more than likely means they won't make it.

Oh, interesting! I know the odds aren't very good but they've made it this far so fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed for the twins
