Air cell question

[tay_boe]

How does the air cell break?

The chick pecks it when it is ready to come out

O sorry I need to explain myself better. I mean by like day 4 of incubation.

 

[tay_boe]

I saw bubbles in the eggs and I was wondering if it was my fault or from shipping or what?

That sounds like a detached air cell, which is most likely from shipping, not from anything you've done.

Ugh ok thank god! I have been so upset with myself. That's nice to know. It also makes sense because most of the eggs I received from that shipment were that way.

yep, damaged air cell from shipping. I always candle shipped eggs upon arrival and have never had any luck getting one with a detached air cell to hatch... or even develope.

Ditto

Did u let your eggs set for 24 hours before incubating
