Unfortunately these things sometimes happen. I try not to help that much unless I see something desperate I try not to interfere. You did all you could with them :hugs

I’m sorry to hear that @Inharmony :(

Safety holes if they have internally piped into the air cell. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/guide-to-assisted-hatching-for-all-poultry.72886/

I see what you mean that air cell is pretty small for lockdown. I would monitor the egg for now to see where it pips. I think there is a section in this article that should be helpful ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/incubating-and-hatching-chicken-eggs-aka-hatching-101.64195/

From what you have described it sounds more like saddled air cell. It should and can hatch just fine on their own. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/hatching-with-detached-air-sacs.1567946/ Good luck with your hatch!
