Air cell in the wrong end

[AlleysChicks]

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.

could be. I wasn’t really paying attention other than it’s a silkie egg. I stick eggs straight in the fridge after collection.

Edit to add: I almost tossed it after I discovered the AC but felt bad because of the baby. Thought I had better at least give it a chance. If it makes it I’ll name it Wonky

Two weeks in, and we have a wiggly baby!

Mine sadly didn’t make it. It was alive day 19/20 but never hatched. I think it was malpo.

I hope yours hatches! ​

I'm going to follow my normal rules. If it pips externally, I'll help it. If it doesn't, I don't.

Looks like it quit a day or two after day 14. I candled for lock down and there was no movement and there was way to much clear space in the egg.

Ah bummer!

I candled eggs under a broody and have an air cell that is partly in the normal spot, but it runs down the side. It doesn't come close to the main center of the fat end. Was candling with my phone, so couldn't take a pic. I need to remember to take my flashlight with me.
