According to some gardening books, choosing which sprouts we thin out or leave is difficult because middle-size carrots should not be thinned out but biggest and smallest ones have to be thrown out. The biggest sprouts likely have sprit roots in the future and the smallest one might imply their poor growth.
Today 30 sprouts were thinned out.

My luck growing carrots have been hit and miss. Some years seeds emerge and perfect roots form. Last year some seeds with twisted roots. Do you know what causes the twisted roots? Good luck with your carrots!

I think the cause is small stones and pebbles in the soil.
If a point of carrot's root touches pebbles, the root might avoid them by twisting itself.
I always screen out pebbles before sowing carrot's seed.
