Air cell in the wrong end

I had an egg like that under a broody hen. It developed for about 10 days then died in the shell.

I would lay it on it's side.

I say go for it!! But monitor it occasionally so that you know if it doesn't make it.
Be aware that if it does develop you may end up having to assist in the hatch.

I have one of these too. Of course I didn’t notice until day 7. And it’s developing fine. It’s at day 13 so I’ll be candling either later tonight or tomorrow.

We need a picture of it.

Some of my older chicken and ducks will lay eggs like that. There's nothing wrong with the hens, their system just malfunctioned. I don't advise trying to hatch it. It might hatch, but it will already be complicated, and hatching and incubating are already complicated enough for all parties involved.
Ultimately you may do as you please though. Good luck!

Ok ok. Hold on a sec.

Ok so day 13.

These are shining the light through the AC at the pointy end.

These 2 below are from the fat end of the egg. There is no air cell there. You can see a F for fertile that I mark on eggs at day 7. At day 10 I recheck nonmarked eggs and toss any clears.

You notice how wonky the egg is?
It was laid goofy...not a clean egg shaped egg.
I bet this has something to do with where the air cell is.
