They didn't make it.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Twin observations: It looks like small twin was shutting down a day or so ago. Once that starts, the toxins from decomposition quickly migrate through the warm, moist egg environment, typically killing the surviving sibling. Each embryo was completely and perfectly formed and feathered, but had not started drawing in yolk. Developmentally they were day 22-23, on the calendar day 28 with all eggs in the same set hatching on time. Each embryo had a distinct yolk sac, separate vascular systems, and each was encapsulated in its own inner membrane. In addition, there was fluid between each inner sac and the inner shell membrane. Typically the vascular systems are strongly tied to the air cell for gas exchange. In this case, the air cell was almost non-existent and there was very few blood vessels to the air cell. Those that were there were attached only to the larger poult's sac.

They all have their faults, two don't have bibs and the two that do are way over bibbed :/ Don't know which is better.

Keep what you like...

Gray poult

Love #2! Mate her with a good bibbed male. I think it's easier to add more white than get rid of too much. Lovely!!

X2!

The duckling that pipped in the small end appears to be yawning.
