TWINS INCUBATING

[AMC5]

Hello Folx!

I have a satin silkie egg with twins inside! I've never encountered this before. Any tips and tricks to increase their likelihood of a successful hatch and survival?! ANy advice is appreciated!!

Do an on site search on 'incubating twin eggs'. Multiple threads will appear. Good luck.

Good luck! There's not a lot that you can do. They usually end up quitting around day 12 or so.
If it makes it to hatch, it'll probably need to be assisted, but keep an eye on it. It's not very likely at all that it will make it.
Let us know how it goes though!!!
You never know, it may just make it.

Thank you!! I’ll have to see in the next few days if it’s still viable. Fingers crossed!!

Hi AMC5 how is your little twins-egg doing?

Hello!

They are in lockdown as of this morning... as the chicks grew, it was very difficult to tell if two were both still alive in there or not. There was definitely one still moving around! I will let you know when they hatch (scheduled for Weds!). Fingers crossed at least one makes it!!

Most of mine only made it to day 10. I did have a triple, that made it to day 17 but it still died. In the triple case, there were 3 yolks, one got absorbed, and one stopped developing, killing the one that made it to day 17.
