Refresh my memory, Seth. When did you get those eggs with the messed up air cells? Have you done what you were told to do and set them with the big end up for 24 hours without moving them? How fresh are the eggs? If they are only a few days old, you can let the sit for 48 hours or more in a cool place, and gently tilt them a few times a day before you set them in the incubator. When are you other eggs supposed to arrive?none will live if there is no air cells
