Twin Pictures (Micky)

[MA Mama]

If you and your vet are on the same page, don't listen to the naysayers! I honestly believe your instinct and intuition is more important than anything else when it comes to these things. Same thing goes for if you end up needing to help them out a little at the end. Good luck! Fingers crossed!

Hi Tracy,Good luck on yours!

So happy to hear they have a sufficient air pocket as this will help them at the end very much. Did your vet have any suggestions on humidity, temp , helping them out a day early or lockdown? I would be very interested in any information that the vet could provide as no avian vets in my area. I am on day 17 now and can only see shadows moving. If I candle at the large end I have very little of an air pocket. The whole egg is dark except for about 1/3 of the side of the egg that is heart shaped, I am assuming where the yolks are. If I candle at the small end I see nothing. If I candle at the side, the embryo's will sometimes move and darken the lighter heart shaped area. Very hard to be patient, after this one, I do not think I will be so anxious for the single embryos.

OMG, my friend the vet came round and wanted to candle the egg to see it again, she decided to candle them all and what a shock we got when we found 3 eggs with twins in!. Now the father of all these eggs is a silver laced wynadott 22 weeks of age. The mothers are 2 barred rocks and 1 white star. They are all 25 weeks! Does anyone think its there young age or is it ralph the cockeral? Losing one set of twins is hard but 3 is even harder. I wish there was only 1 in each. Theres 2 more with only a baby in each phew!

Hi there hun, it was exciting till i found another 2 eggs with twins! Thats 3 eggs & 6 babies. I can see the eyes and beaks at the large end of the eggs but i dont think it will stay like that. Ive watched the video of the twins hatching and it scared me i dont know if i could do that. My vet called michelle is in the dark as much as we are, she said she spoke to a another vet who hasnt heard of this either and theres not much on the internet. Ive took a load of photos which is hard to do lol, i will post them on tomorrow when im on a computer as im on my ipad now and dont have a lead. My humidity is 40% and temp is 99.5.. We should keep each other posted. Im going to try and video these if they hatch.
