weird thing when candleing

[silkies4penny]

hey everyone, I am on day ten with my eggs, and I was wondering if anyone can post a link to a candled egg that was twins. I have one egg that has moving dark spots on both sides of the egg. I was wondering if it was possibly a twin or if I am growing some sort of monster beast. they are bearded buff silkies. anyone have any insight?!

I have no idea, but I'd love to see a picture of your egg!

Twins in chickens happens. I've never had this happen to me, but some here have. If they are 2 chicks in 1 egg, they will not hatch on their own and most likely will die before hatch date. Type "twin chicks" in the search bar.

I candled this afternoon and had the same thought! I'm on day 9 and have only been seeing one eye these past few days, so I think she's just grown in length a lot and I see one end of her on each side of the egg. Do you think that could be your situation too? Or is the spot really dark like another eye?

I definitly did not see an extra yolk really, so maybe it was that it grew to the other side of the egg Im such a rookie!

I can't say for sure with-out a picture.
Last year my twin chicks looked similar to what you described when candled.

There are a couple of You Tube videos that show twin chicks hatching. They needed help to hatch.
