Twins? Candling day 11

[HalleysChicks]

Hello! I'm on day 11 with our hatching eggs, and so far all 16 are thriving and have obvious movement. This one is different. I think it might be twins? I see movement and an eye in 2 different parts of the egg. I know that is unlikely to hatch twins successfully. But am I crazy, or are there 2 embryos developing? Thanks!

Welcome to BYC!

Can you post a picture of the egg?

Videos need to be posted on another site such as YouTube and then linked here.

That looks like one chick to me.

That does look like twins. I can make out 2 heads in the bottom picture. Here I pointed to somethings in more detail for you.

Please keep us posted on these chickies developments.
But even if it is twins... the likelihood of them both making it out alive, fully developed, and healthy are very slim.

Thank you! That makes sense. I had 1 more egg that I was wondering about. I just checked it again, and it also looks like twins lol. I guess their chickens are very fertile. Will be interesting to see how it plays out
