That means you are entered in the HAL itself...

For guessing total eggs set, DragonClaw01 requested for a PM sent...
misfitmorgan requested a PM of your own # of eggs set and a pic of them to enter for Best (and Worst) hatch rates by Jan30th, I think...
I don't remember if there was a cutoff date on DragonClaw01 contest guesses...

Correct Jan 30th at midnight was the cut off for Best/Worst Hatch contests. i posted many times trying to make sure no one missed the opportunity to enter the contests and tried to be as clear as i could. If you missed entering the Best/Worst contest i am sorry but pm dragonclaw and enter the "Guess the number set for all HAL members contest" because i dont recall anything about a deadline for his.

Is this what twins look like? Or is this just two parts of the same chick?
This is only my third hatch, so Im still pretty new at looking. But I feel like always see 2 dark spots when I look in this egg, compared with the others where I only see 1 or a curved shape. They are really close together, though, so maybe it's one chick? This hen has never laid a double yolk egg before. How can you tell?

Here's another where the two blobs look similarly dark.

Here is what mine looked like on day 10 a few months ago. Yours seem a lot closer together.

.I would say only one chick as I do not see the normal 2 seperated batches of veining as I see in StephensonC video. I get some like that sometimes and generally it's a darker colored skinned breed which makes it appear as 2 dark blotches.

Thanks guys! Im so relieved. I know twins rarely make it. It's interesting... the idea of a darker skinned chick...Im expecting white because all the others have been. But who knows! I won't worry any more.

Finally did a full candle and pulled eggs... down to 27 still going strong!
