Air Bubble?

[Beccatrix]

Hello! I ordered some hatching eggs from a well known SFH breeder. This is my first time incubating, and I was planning a dry hatch. I have a NR360 currently warming up.

These eggs have been sitting, post shipping fat end up for about 36 hours. We used my husband's tactical light. From the bottoms; 2 have noticeable circles (pics included; one seems light and one seems dark); the rest (24 eggs) just look speckled as the 3rd pic. We also looked at the eggs from the light at the top. What are we looking for? I thought we wanted to see a circular bubble? Hoping to put them in tomorrow morning.

Those are fresh eggs, you're not going to see much of an air bubble. Look for any cracks in the eggs, and then put them in the incubator. Also when you candle shine the light up the fat end.

Thanks! We got the incubator on Prime Day and had a very sudden opportunity for some import line sno eggs....and I've been reading a bunch but something was not clicking about air bubbles!
