Twin egg?

[Rooshens]

So strange!

Right? So does that mean no expert advice? Haha

Here are my eggs on day 18…also, is there an air sack? It would be interesting for sure. @rosemarythyme

Sorry I know nothing at all about incubating/hatching.

I'll be honest.. your first pictures looked very atypical and not like anything I've seen in a viable egg at lockdown time. BUT.. nature sometimes throws us oddities.. so I'd be documenting and watching anyway

IN the video upload it definitely looked like embryo movement there at the beginning.. but again.. not the development I'd expect for a day 18 chick.

Will be watching the thread so please do update us!!

thanks! I'm agree with you, it's odd. photo and video was day 16. but yes, I agree. tomorrow (monday) is day 18 so the official lockdown will start. I'm placing this egg right at the front of my brinsea so i can watch if/what happens. so, by Thursday I should have an update one way or another.

Looking forward to the outcome. What breed?

I still wouldn't get ya hopes up. Often one chick dies and it slowly kills the 2nd one. This about the time frame that starts to happen. Looking at the pictures the living one is pretty badly under developed.

I do think it looks alive, and I hope it makes it!

I think the OP knows it may not make it. Time will tell!

Nope sorry hahah I haven’t hatched very much. Only hatched a few times myself

 

[PippinTheChicken]

If it's underdeveloped, it might be a few days late

Me as well! The hatching experience has been very interesting and I have learned so much. This egg has a Lavender orpington chick baking away!
We've had a few different breeds over the years with this being the first time to try orpingtons. Also have salmon faverolle eggs in the incubator.
