Twin Egg With One Yolk

[TundraFang]

My brother just called me, the egg pipped! It's on the wrong side but hopefully they'll be okay!

Would you be thinking of performing an assist?

If it doesn't make progress in the next 24 hours I'll assist.

That's SOOOO exciting and a huge progress step for a twin egg!!
Even if only one hatches successfully that's great! They may be facing opposite directions at this point so I wouldn't be surprised if you still end up seeing a pip at the rounded end as well.

I always incubate my double yolkers (I keep quail not chickens), and only one hatched and it was recent. I got one chick and one gross blob of red goo. I didn’t see it hatch, I had put it in with a couple special marked eggs all separated from the normies by having a strawberry carton upside down over them, and I woke up on hatch day and had 3 chicks and a blob of goo, with 3 empty shells, no idea who was who, but clearly only one came out of the double. They had both been wiggling at day 9, at lockdown it was just a dark egg with some visible veins and maybe movement visible in the air cell. I couldn’t differentiate two any more like I could at the earlier candling. It looked like the chicks had been pecking the goo, and they all had it on them . It definitely wasn’t yolk sac, it was far more solid. The 3 chicks who could have been the twin all grew normally and had no issues, and I think I was super lucky that one twin made it.

Well, while we're waiting, does anyone have name ideas for the other chick that hatched already?

My flock: pippin fries pickles kiwi blue clover darwin basil raven ginger. I'm sure they'd be honoured if you'd pick one of their names!

Maybe the twin on that side of the egg pipped then. This is so exciting! Good luck
