Im a lifetime member of skeptics anonymous. My friends dont forward me emails anymore that they get, because I always run to snopes, disprove it, and send the snopes link to the hundreds of people they forwarded it to. Spoils all their fun.

Not saying it couldnt happen (anything can happen), but with me its seein is believin.

Yup. I'm so skeptical, I'm skeptical of the skeptics. I am at heart a scientists and run everything through my BS alert. Sent plenty of emails back to friends, too.

I do quibble with the matter of fact statement by LareePQG that the big egg would have been obliterated if it hatched a twin. I am not aware of anyone who has gathered data to demonstrate how twins normally sit in the egg let alone how they pip. Very rare occurance all around. Its a pretty bold statement to make that something couldn't have happened just because you have an assumption of how you think it should have happened.

As for twins in this circumstance, if there are three Orps and there were only two eggs from Orps, logic would dictate that one of them must have contained twins. Now it comes down to whether you believe the OP or not.

That is so cool! I am so curious as to how they develop. I love the pictures of them snuggling!

Congratulations!!!

Congrats! And thanks for sharing. If you have three orps and two eggies then u got to experience a rare and super cool event!

Your babies are very cute, and they do seem very "connected" from the pics

let us know how they grow, both boys or both girls, one of each?? Please keep us updated!

What happened??? Did they turn out to be the same gender? Or one of each?

I know they don't normally hatch but I am going to try...

it is to the right...

I will try and get another shot when it is all vein-y.
