detached air cell

I have received a very squashed box of hatching eggs yesterday - due to the amazing job of internal packing by the breeder no eggs were broken - with scrambled eggs (a bit of an exaggeration). All but 3 (which have a partial/saddle attachment) air cells are completely detached. I let the eggs...

So to start off this was my first time incubating eggs, I’ve had broodys this year and normally I let them hatch. But I wanted chicks that were more unique breeds you don’t find at the feed store and my last set of shipped eggs (Red blue laced wyandottes) I had under my broody, she abandoned...

My eggs arrived a week ago and almost all of them had detached air cells 😢. I’ll be candling them for the second time (first when they started incubating) around day ten to see if they have any life. I initially tried to keep the worst four, more upright when turning, in a separate incubator...

Hey guys just wondering if I should lay this egg on it’s side or put it upside position? I read a some post about detached air cells but couldn’t really find an answer to this. I know he’s there and alive. (12th day in incubator at 99.5 and 47 RI).

Hi everyone! I noticed the first time I candled my Silkie eggs that this one looked different. I believe the air cell is detached or just abnormally large and I assumed the chick would at some point stop growing. But it never did… so I kept the chick in the incubator. Now we are on day 19 and...

Hello! First time hatching shipped eggs. Have hatched many of my own successfully. They were treated pretty rough, packed well, but really tossed around. 2 arrived broken and all the rest (24) either had fully detached, partly detached, or saddled air cells. I’m very excited to have 21 going...

I have two geese eggs that were shipped, I’ve candled them both and I think they both have detached air cells, I can see 1 large bubble in both eggs in the fat end but they only roll around at the top?

So I have 8 call duck eggs in the incubator...and 3 of them have a wiggly moving air cell....(you can see the fluid that the duckling is in moving around when you tilt it to candle) They’re on day 22..I’ve tried standing them up with larger side facing up but it never stuck... It’s still wobbly...

Hi everyone I got detached air sac egg . It's in incubator. What shall I do ? Advice anyone.

Lockdown for my California quail eggs begins tomorrow. I've read about how shipped eggs sometimes survive until lockdown but still fail to hatch. Is this true, and is it because of damaged or detached air cells? Should I cut out pieces of the egg carton they were shipped in to make little...

Hi all! I bought 9 California (a.k.a. Valley) Quail eggs online. The seller told me which day they were laid - let's call this Day 0. Here's a timeline: - Day 0: Eggs laid. - Day 2: They were shipped (I have no idea what happened between Days 0 and 2, or whether they were incubated). - Day...

Hi, I'm Hatching shipped eggs for the first time from Magnolia silkies. They are Blue and Splash silkie bantam hatching eggs and I put all 3 of my eggs in the incubator already. I candeled them yesterday and they are all developing well but one has a detached aircell. They are due to hatch...

I am in the middle of a self debate right now. I have two set of shipped eggs both have really bad air cells, extremely wobbly. I can leave them in my “China” bator that has an auto turner that turns the eggs every two hours, or I can put them in a homemade bator with an incukit incubator system...

This is my first time hatching and I was only prompted to because one of my hens goes broody every summer. This year I ordered her fertilized eggs and she has been diligently sitting on them. I was having trouble candeling on the 10th day and to be honest I saw that most people recommend not...

Aaaaaand we’re back.. 4 years later and I’m lucky enough to need to use this app again. Basically.. I jokingly bid on some call duck eggs (on eBay) and was surprised the next day when a “Congratulations! You won” appeared on my phone.. So here we are. Day 1. 5/9 eggs have saddled air cells...

Hi all, I recently bought 6 eggs and due to infertility I had to throw 2 out. Right now it's day 15 and egg number 2 doesn't have signs of movement, 3 and 6 do have movement although they look quite detached. 4 looks like a late quitter and I don't think it will hatch. I have a Brinsea mini II...

My current incubator (Janoel 12) is translucent, so I am eager to create a hatching incubator myself with a clear window at the top so I can watch the process.... i definitely would prefer to see it!! This way I wont be opening the incubator to check and losing all the humidity... If my dry...

Hi all! 12 posted duck eggs, 1 infertile, 3 with blood rings. 8 with eyes, a banana shaped body, veins, and a whole lot of movement. They all have been "swinging" back and forth a lot... (is this normal?). We are at day ten. I am curious if the dangerous part of detached air cells has passed...

Hi all! I JUST got my first duck eggs ever. They were shipped over 2 days and i received them about an hour ago. I have them propped upright pointy end down in an egg carton and am letting them rest for at least 24 hours before moving them into the incubator, where I plan to use the upright...

Ok... 23 shipped eggs...I let them rest upright for 48 hours before setting. They are in an upright tilting turner. I candled them today, day 7, 6 of the eggs had no development and every solitary one of the others has a detached air cell:thI am so disappointed I am almost sick. This is my first...
