I started another thread I have 2 eggs pipped over night just barely. I'm new 😄This egg was a suspect twin.this is the pip no change including a candling picture to show why we were suspect of twin...( I have several) I hope it's not.
No change in pip. How will I know if there is an issue? Should this pip be bigger ?

Looks like a Twin to me! I'm not Sure though, I've only hatched chickens 3 times (We are incubating some right now, so this is my 3rd time). But, I have hatched ducks. Once, Candling does look like its a Twin though
 
I'd keep candling the pointy end to watch vein status. Once you don't see any more veins when candling I'd start assisting very slowly. I'd read the article I have linked in my signature first and go from there. I'd be tempted to pick that pip open a bit and see what it looks like in there. But I don't know that I'd recommend that. What day is it on?
Sometimes they can stretch out and look pretty odd when candling around day 10-13 which is when I'd guess that picture was taken.

We are just at day 21. Have you ever heard of twin hatch unassisted? I don't know how one could move around the other to zip if one died. Id see two pips if both alive Id assume🤷🏼‍♀️
