I just received a dozen hatching eggs in the mail. As I unpacked them to make sure they are placed pointy side down I did a quick candling to check air sacs. On all but one of the eggs I see no visible air sac or what seem like ruptured air sacs. I am letting them rest to see if the air sacs are possibly dislodged, is there anything else I can do?
 
Can you take one egg in to your dark closet and candle it and get a few clear pictures real quick?

I don't let shipped eggs rest. I get them in to the incubator as quick as possible.
 
Some photos

I just posted some photos, they are light shelled eggs so luckily you can see very well without a dark room.i can take darker photos if need be.
 
They could be scrambled. It's hard to tell.

Very fresh eggs don't really have an air cell.

You can let them rest for a couple of hours but get them in the incubator as soon as possible and you'll know in a couple of days if they start developing or not.
