Twins hatch help

Yes. If I make the safety hole, it will be in the air cell. I just hope one pips internally. There is always hope

You really can't assist till they are inside the air cells. They must internally pip before you can put in a safety hole.[/QUOTE

Yes I realize this. Thank you. Hopefully I will see at least one beak inside the air cell soon.

Would you make the safety hole now or only if there is a internal pip?

I have zero experience in hatching anything. I read so I can learn in case I ever decide to try. I've read about twins. If you poke a hole at the air cell end won't the other twin at the other end be compromised because they don't have an air cell or safety hole?

Making a hole won't make a difference until they internally pip...they won't need air until then.

This is a tricky time.
You will have to go with your gut.

Today is what day?

I think mine are both at the top. I have had some both at the bottom and both at the top. It’s driving me nuts. There just doesn’t seem like there is to much hope but there should be a way to deliver them. My hen has laid almost all twins. He eggs are bigger than a peafowl egg. There is room for 2 babies for sure. Wish they had a better success rate. It’s almost like they should just go into the frig instead of the incubator

I don't think I've come across a twin egg hatching on its own yet... All the ones I have seen have had to been helped out.

Exactly, so when should I do something ? Seems twins would need to hatch early. So far all of my sets died on day 21 before internally pip. I might should have saved them if I had opened the air cell so they wouldn’t drown and leave them until blood veins dry up. Seems that’s what need to happen. They are alive right now and one is moving a lot but no internally pip. Last time I kept waiting it was to late.

This is the hard part... The guessing when to actually help.
