Pipped possibly twin


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.
I hope you are right that it was just stretched out!!! Was day 13
 
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🤷🏼‍♀️
I haven't, but I've also not seen many true twins. I think commonly if there are twins one will die and be absorbed by the surviving one. I had a chick make it to hatch a few years ago and pip but then died, so I opened it up, as I do with all of my eggs. It had apparently had a twin, it had a second set of feet protruding from its navel. Pretty gross and creepy, lol. I have pictures somewhere, I'd have to see if I can find them.
 
One just hatched suspect twin is barely moving that little triangle of shell piece pip. Moving though. Wish the hatched would slow down and stop running in to it🥴
The hatched chicks always have to play football with the unhatched eggs after they get out 😂 Once the first one dries off a bit, if you have your brooder ready you can take it out very quickly and put in the brooder. I hope the second egg hatches!!
 
Just one chick!
