twins hatched today!

[crazydequasie]

I have 20 eggs in incubator and my first egg started hatching today. I was super excited and I knew they were twins however only one survived chick was fully formed but I think he suffocated but I'm happy to have the surviving twin!

I have one more egg that has twins and is due in a week I will keep close eye on it! Just wanted to share my happiness since twins don't normally make it!

That's great! The few times I have had double yolkers they quit early on.

Congratulations! Sorry to hear about the second baby, though getting one chick out of a double yolk egg is something to be proud off. Best of luck and fingers crossed for the next one!

Just in case, if you have to help them, read this article on assisted hatches: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/step-by-step-guide-to-assisted-hatching
