Thank you I'm so thrilled with the turn out.

Unfortunately egg #14 the Sapphire Gem egg had two babies. I always thought it look off during candling but was 100% sure. Looks like the twin either died early or didn't form all the way. The second chick did but from what I can see it's attached in some way. Almost looks like organs. It's super small but still breathing. Maybe it'll survive.

Unfortunately lost # 14. Looks like half it organs from with the other embryo

Wow! It is so rare for a double yolk egg to make it to hatch and actually hatch. Im so sorry the chick didn’t make it but that is so fascinating! If you still have it (and have the willpower to do so) it would be really cool to see some detailed photos! If you aren’t comfortable with that though, I understand. Sorry about it that little one!

Like the pool touch, I would have never thought of this.

The yoke sack was full and had another what look like earlier formed chick. Another chick broke it. You can see it in the water fill of my incubator. The formed chick organs were intertwined with the other yoke and small embryo. It looks very different dried out.

What a shame

I love it, so easy to clean. Just take it out dump it and spray down with hose. And all the mess stays in it. Also great for ducklings. And once they're older and can jump I'll just put some wire around it and keeps them in.

that is so sad but as really different , i wonder how often double yokes get to develop even this far ^
