this is my first clutch. they're in the incubator. i noticed one has become larger than the other. is this a sign that the larger one is alive and growing and the other is no good?

I've made the same observation befor with eggs, one egg growing larger then the other & both hatched out fine. Of course the larger egg had a larger baby in it. Some eggs will even develope a little distorted & the babies hatch out ok.
The only thing I would double check is that the humidity isn't to high. The eggs can absorb to much water & drown the embryo inside the egg. I like to keep the humidity inside the incubator between 70% & 80%.
Good luck.
