Up date on hatching my baby chicks from a cardboard box

[MamaBear2016]

i had to put my eggs that i am trying to hatch in to
my cats cage that i use to take them to the vet,
BUT tonight my son and I candled the eggs
and every egg is moving and i am keeping a good temp
so i have 31 eggs but 32 chicks .
a big Question i have one big egg and it
has 2 chicks in it and they are moving when and if they
hatch will the chicks be stuck together or will the be ok?
candling them i don't see them connected

I have to follow this! That would be so neat!

How in the world did you manage to keep the temp and humidity right in a cat cage? This I have to know, as I've never heard of anyone doing it like that.

I'm with BabyBlue, Curious as to how you maintain heat and humidity.

I am also extremely intrigued by this entire set up! To answer your question about a "twin egg" they very rarely make it to hatch but it is possible. How far along are you in incubation?

i believe it's 8 days for it. since i live in Washington state, we have moisture during winter and spring. plus it's been raining,i had put the cage under my kitchen table that is made of wood .
and i have carpet ,plus i have an old kids sleeping bag over the cage but keeping part of it i keep opened . then i took one small water bottle with the end cut off i put that in the back
and end part of a soda bottle too well cleaned ,then i put a heater that rotates the heat on low set it about 2 feet from it in front and yea

Amazing that you have done it that way, and that they have been developing like that! Good luck with your hatch!
